I use an integrative approach, combining Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I understand how scary it can be to ask for help and how difficult it is to decide where to get support from. Asking for help is a brave decision and can lead to incredible outcomes. I will walk with you while you navigate the difficulties in your life, no matter how big or seemingly small. You decide what you bring to talk about and you set the pace. I offer a warm, empathic approach and put the relationship with my clients at the forefront of my work. I believe we all need a helping hand at times.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on concepts from the different types of counselling I trained in: Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Sloution Focused and Compassion Focused.
Accepting people for who they are is very much who I am as a person. This comes from the struggles I have had myself around being accepted as me. I am neurwork in a fully accessibile office for wheelchairs and can make adjustments where possible to meet your needs. My website provides full details. Struggling with our mental health can be debilitating for many and reaching out for support can take a great amount of energy. You may to name a few have a loss in confidence, trust issues, low self-esteem, feel different to others. You may not know what you need, but that's okay, I can support you with that.

Reasons for having Counselling: You might be struggling with your mood – stress, anxiety, fight and flight, overwhelmed. You tend to focus on others, and their needs, to the detriment of your own - in your relationships and career. It might feel like you’re in a vicious cycle. There is a way out. My approach: A solution-focused approach, embedded in well-established therapies – CBT, Psychodynamic therapy and EMDR. I encourage having clear goals and collaboration for better outcomes. I specialised in brief work, focusing on a particular issue.

I offer EMDR within a CBT framework which means that you will be encouraged to use what you have learned about yourself to make lasting changes in your life.
Maybe you had a difficult childhood, suffered neglect, abuse, bullying. Perhaps life became challenging later on. Trauma is a subjective experience, if something upset you at any point then you may be still living with the impact of the trauma. There may be multiple traumatic events in your life which you have been unable to process. Subsequent traumatic events will add to your distress. Untreated trauma inevitably manifests itself as anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions. If you would like to make sense of your life and repair the damage caused by your past then EMDR provides the most humane & effective treatment.

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.
