I’m a qualified counselling psychotherapist, working with adults who have various emotional difficulties, that can include, anxiety, stress, depression and the impact this can have on our family, work life and the relationships we have with everyone around us. We can work together to find ways to get through the painful experiences that life can sometimes throw our way, and the causes of these feelings. This could be loss and grief or trauma of any kind, past or present. I can assure you that I will treat you with the respect, empathy and confidentiality that you need when taking the first step to talk.

I use adapted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR as my main models.
Are you autistic or wondering if you might be? Maybe your child has received an autism diagnosis or are you waiting for an assessment? Are you feeling unsure what to do next and struggling to find support? Are you or your child experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, melt downs or challenging behaviour? An autism diagnosis is the beginning. There is so much information but no one to guide you through it all. Family and friends try to understand, school try to help but don’t always get it right. You may feel alone, isolated and lonely, unsure who to trust and where to turn.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. Perhaps anxiety or low mood is affecting your daily life, or you’re struggling with relationships, confidence, sleep, or motivation. You might feel caught in unhelpful habits or thought patterns, or sense that something needs to change but aren’t sure where to begin. Often people seek therapy because they want relief from emotional distress, from feeling out of control, or from repeating the same patterns. Beneath that, there is usually a deeper wish to understand themselves better, to feel more at ease, and to live with greater clarity and choice.

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.
