Alongside CBT, I integrate approaches such as EMDR, ACT, DBT and Compassion Focused Therapy to support meaningful, practical and lasting change tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
I often work with adults who appear to cope well on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, emotionally exhausted or disconnected from themselves. Many come with anxiety, OCD, trauma-related difficulties, burnout, low mood or relationship patterns they are struggling to change. I aim to provide a supportive and collaborative space where we build a shared understanding of what may be keeping difficulties going, while tailoring therapy to the individual so that change feels meaningful, practical and lasting.

I work with adults who may look capable on the outside yet feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or shaped by trauma underneath. Trauma is not always one overwhelming event. It can develop through repeated experiences such as criticism, emotional neglect, rejection, or never feeling safe, seen, or supported. Many come when old patterns begin to affect relationships, work, identity, or daily life. We help clients make sense of what they are carrying, understand themselves more deeply, and move forward with greater emotional clarity, practical tools, and lasting change.

Sometimes life becomes heavier than we expected, and we are trying to make sense of what we need and how to move forward. Changes in life and ourselves may need space before integrating into our lives. People come to therapy for many reasons, from simply being heard and learning new skills to understanding how to process difficult and traumatic events from the past. Often, we get exhausted by expectations of others and our own, trying always to perform at our best. Looking for support usually means that a person wants things to be different. Therapy can help with that.

Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Counsellors
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
