I am an integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) counsellor, working exclusively online. My main role as a counsellor is to help you connect with how you want to be in the world and to help us work together towards putting that into practice. I believe counselling can be of benefit to anyone who wants support with changing the way they relate to themselves and their environment. It could be, for example, that you are missing out on opportunities due to fear of failure, you feel stuck in a relationship, job, or friendship group, or that whatever you do never seems to quieten the cruel self-critical voice in your head.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an approach designed to develop new ways of thinking about ourselves and our environments. It helps us to learn that we are not our thoughts, and about how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact. My approach mixes CBT with other approaches such as Internal Family Systems therapy and Gestalt.
Therapy is not about being perfect or always happy, nor is it about never feeling sad or anxious. It's about creating an environment where you feel unconditionally accepted and you can practice that unconditional acceptance towards yourself. If I sound like someone you think you could work and connect with, I'd love to hear from you.
