I specialise in working with children, teens, and young adults helping them navigate the often overwhelming transitions of adolescence and early adulthood. I have worked in high achieving schools and focus on wellbeing and proactive responses to wellbeing. Clients may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, perfectionism, self-doubt, or the pressures of peer relationships. Many feel stuck in unhelpful thought patterns or behaviours that they don’t quite know how to change. Using a CBT approach, I help them build practical tools to challenge negative thinking, manage emotions, and develop patterns of behaving.
I often use a CBT approach to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected, and how small shifts in thinking can lead to meaningful changes in their lives. I offer a warm, collaborative space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we build practical tools to manage difficulties.
If you or your child is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, reaching out for therapy can take courage and motivation. I understand how challenging it can be to navigate this and will be empathetic to your needs. Get in touch to arrange a session to begin therapy.
