I am an integrative therapist but completed a Diploma in CBT.
I work with adults, children and young people on many different issues. Depression, Anxiety, trauma, self harm, suicidal thoughts, self esteem, assertiveness and many other life issues. I became a Counsellor because I know how difficult life can be and I wanted to be able to help people who struggle with their mental health or are struggling with different problems in life.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress and related difficulties. Many of the people I see are in their 30s, 40s, 50s or 60s and are trying to manage the pressures of life, work, relationships, family responsibilities, health worries, change, or the feeling that they are no longer coping as well as they used to.

As a person-centred counsellor, I strive to create a warm, welcoming and non-judgemental space where people can feel truly heard and supported. I work with both children and young people aged 11-17, and adults 18+, recognising that every stage of life can bring its own unique challenges and experiences. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. I believe that counselling is not about having all the answers, but about working together to understand your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

Life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or simply “okay” — yet deep down, many sense it could be better. Clients often come seeking relief from stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or bereavement/grief, or to navigate transitions such as relationships, parenting, retirement, or loss. Others want to strengthen communication, repair or deepen connections, or explore echoes of childhood experiences that still shape adult life. Counselling offers a safe space to reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect — helping you build resilience, find clarity, and move towards greater fulfilment and self‑understanding.

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.
