I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and mindfulness-based approaches.
You might be someone who spends a lot of time looking after others, anticipating their needs and keeping everything running. Saying yes to others feels easy but saying yes to yourself is much harder. You hold yourself to high standards, struggle to rest without guilt and may feel exhausted or quietly resentful. Many of the Millennial and Gen Z women I work with feel overwhelmed without always knowing why. They’re carrying a lot mentally and emotionally yet find it difficult to identify or express their own needs.

I have worked over 25 years with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who feel stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns shaped by trauma, loss, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, or family conflict. Many struggle with relationships, identity, emotional regulation, or life transitions. Using an attachment based approach, informed by RECBT, systemic family therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and psychoanalytic thinking, I offer a consistent therapeutic relationship where clients build insight, process difficult experiences, strengthen resilience, and create healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

You hold everything together on the outside. The career, the standards, the performance. And yet underneath all of it you are exhausted, anxious and quietly wondering why none of it feels the way it should.
Or you feel things so deeply that ordinary days leave you depleted in ways the people around you do not quite understand.
I work with high achievers who cannot switch off and with highly sensitive people who have spent years trying to fit into a world not built for them. In my experience these are often the same person.
If this sounds like you, a free 15-minute call is a good place to start.

You deserve to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.....Do you agree with this statement? Sometimes life feels difficult and losing sight of what is meaningful can cause significant distress. Making time for yourself to understand your thoughts and feelings and establish what you truly value in life is so important.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
