Drawing on 20 years’ experience of working with those in the caring professions and supporting people in crisis, I now counsel those suffering with symptoms of burnout, toxic stress and compassion fatigue. Your immediate presenting issues may well include addictive behaviours, debilitating anxieties and depression. So, you want to improve your relationships, your overall health and to build resilience...these are our goals! For too long, you have put your quality of life on hold for others. For too long you have tried to stay strong so that life can go on. But the body and the mind can only take so much.

I offer a range of therapies which I tailor to meet the needs of my clients.

My passion for therapy was created through my own journey of healing, where I realised that people rarely give themselves time to process or reflect on events in their lives. I believe that creating a safe, judgement free environment, paired with a strong therapeutic relationship can allow a positive impact on anyones life. I am able to work with whatever you may bring to the therapy room, but as a Type 1 Diabetic I do have a keen interest in working with chronic illness clients. I truly believe that everybody has a story to tell and these stories deserve to be heard.

Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative approaches.
I provide a supportive environment in which we can explore together the difficulties that you're experiencing without any judgement. Life can be tough, and change can be hard.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising) or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
