I work in an integrative way to tailor the needs of Individuals presenting issues and I can weave the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT) into my work when I feel it's appropriate.
I am a fully qualified Counsellor, i am an accredited member of the National Counselling Psychotherapy Society. (NCPS) I have always had a passion for helping others, and I have experience working with anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement and domestic abuse. I work with adults (18+) and my aim is to help clients overcome their struggles and develop self-understanding to enjoy a meaningful healthier, and happier future. I endeavour to create a safe space for clients to feel comfortable to be able to share things with me that are preventing them from moving forward.

As part of my training I have worked with CBT, TA and Solution Focused approaches to help you get a fresh perspective on what's causing distress, and to help you find a way forward.
We all have those times when things get on top of us; when we feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and unable to cope. We can feel stuck, trapped and that there’s no way forward. Perhaps work and the daily struggles of life are dragging you down? You’re feeling frazzled, stressed and anxious and can’t see a way out? Any one of these can take its toll on your self-confidence, we lose our mojo and everyday life just feels like an uphill struggle. Therapy can give you that much needed time and space to get a fresh perspective on what’s troubling and help you to find new ways of dealing with whatever life’s throwing at you right now.

I use a trauma-informed and practical approach to help you move forward, including CBT, mindfulness and narrative therapy to address your issues.
Love, sex and personal relationships are where we manage our hopes, fears and vulnerabilities. When our connection with ourselves and others is good it feels transformative. When it isn’t it can be extremely distressing. I offer an integrative approach to relationship and psychosexual therapy to work with you, whether single or in a couple. I work with monogamous as well as open/polyamorous relationships. Troubled relationships, arguing, erection issues, loss of desire, anxiety, painful sex, vaginismus, premature ejaculation, or shame about porn use, kinks. This can all change.

My approach is integrative, combining techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) and other methods to meet your unique needs.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or exhausted from carrying everything on your own? Perhaps you struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, or addiction. Often, our past experiences continue to shape how we think, feel, and relate to others. Therapy can help you understand these patterns, build healthier coping strategies, improve relationships, strengthen self-worth, and feel more in control of your life. Imagine feeling calmer, more confident, able to set boundaries, manage difficult emotions, and move forward without being held back by the past.

Gently, we’ll explore your experiences, nurture self-compassion and self-esteem, and begin to release the weight of the past. My integrative approach supports your healing, helping you rebuild trust, find new meaning after loss, and rediscover peace, strength, and connection within yourself and with life.

Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) heavily informs my practice, but I also draw from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy ( CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Hello! I'm Jazz, a warm and compassionate Clinical Psychologist with a passion for helping people to make sense of their difficulties and find the path forwards. When we experience difficult events in life, from obvious traumas, to stressful life events (e.g., moving house, relationship break-downs), we do the best we can to survive. We learn specific ways of being, and develop ideas about ourselves and others that help us to feel safe. This is our brain and nervous system doing the best job it can. However, often these patterns of thinking and behaviour keep us feeling stuck.

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.
