If you’re caught in cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or people-pleasing, this work helps you understand why — and how to change it. We start by looking at where you are now: what’s not working, what’s keeping you stuck, and where you’d like to go. From there, we create a practical, personalised plan using brain-based tools, emotional insight, and evidence-informed strategies to shift the patterns underneath the surface to reduce anxiety and overwhelm, build self-confidence and clarity, break unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. This isn’t about quick fixes or crisis support. It’s steady, supported change.

I draw primarily on contextual-behavioural and existential-humanistic approaches, with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), a mindfulness-based form of CBT, Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
We tend to suffer from anxiety, stress, and depression for too long before reaching for help, which can lead to unnecessary suffering. It takes courage to start therapy, and it takes courage to confront our problems. ‍ What I offer you is a calm and supportive environment in which you will be able to deal with any difficulties you are experiencing, with the professionalism that you deserve.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
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.
