You may feel like you’re constantly masking or hiding parts of yourself to fit in or keep the peace. On the outside, you seem capable, but inside you feel exhausted, unseen, or not quite “enough.” Maybe you grew up feeling misunderstood, shaped by cultural expectations, high-achieving pressure, or neurodivergence that made it safer to adapt than to be yourself. You want to feel comfortable in your own skin and build a kinder, more confident relationship with who you are - where being you feels safe and okay.

Hi, I'm Gayle and I am an experienced CBT & EMDR therapist. I have worked with adults and young people (16+) for over 10 years in both NHS and private services. I work with a wide variety of common mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, social anxiety, phobias, health anxiety, and low self-esteem. I achieve excellent recovery rates for my clients because I strongly believe that therapy is not 'one size fits all' and I am passionate about using only highly proven, evidence-based treatment. My approach is to really listen to you and then work in partnership with you to ensure you achieve the change you want.

Hello. I believe, as with all living things, humans have within them an innate drive to develop and grow. Just as plants need nutrients and water to thrive, I believe we all need an environment of warm, empathic understanding so we can strive - just like a flower in bloom - to reach our fullest potential. We also have a deep need for relational connection and acceptance. I believe that given these optimum conditions for growth, we can strive to become more fully who we want to be, and not perhaps just how others perceive us. I feel honoured and privileged when I meet new clients and they choose to share their life stories with me.

Finding a therapist who you feel you can trust and open up to may feel daunting. My practice focuses on offering you a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace and in a way that allows you to process what is going on for you. What a therapy session will look like is not prescriptive and will depend on what you bring. Understanding your unique experience of the world will be the starting point on which to build a relationship together, where we can develop understanding, awareness and insight into whatever difficulties you are experiencing.
