My website
Work at CollyWobbles. My ideal clients are children, young people and adults seeking to navigate anxiety, phobia, low mood, perfectionism, or complex life transitions. Many are looking for a neuro-affirming space to understand their neurodivergence, such as Autism or ADHD. They come to my practice feeling overwhelmed by systemic pressures or seeking structured support for emotional distress. I help them move forward by providing a collaborative, non-judgmental space. Together, we build a shared understanding of their difficulties and use evidence-based approaches to set realistic, meaningful goals for lasting recovery and growth.
As an NHS-trained CAAP with BPS and BABCP membership, I specialise in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I offer neuro-affirming support, anxiety management, and help with low mood. I provide therapy in both English and Portuguese, blending CBT with systemic insights to treat you as a whole person and empower your recovery.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you do not have to navigate your challenges alone. If you are ready to explore your thoughts and emotions in a safe, compassionate, and collaborative environment, I am here to help. Please reach out - I would be truly honoured to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

At CollIyWobbles primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and systemic approaches. In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and decide how best to help you. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts and behaviours impact your emotions. During treatment, I will help you build tools to manage distress, change unhelpful patterns, and reach your therapeutic goals.
