I also draw on attachment-based approaches to explore how past relationships may shape the present, and use CBT to look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours connect.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma, loss, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Many clients come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. My practice is welcoming to people from all walks of life, including LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent people, and those in diverse relationships. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, build resilience, and move towards a life that feels more fulfilling and authentic.

I am grounded in CBT & Person Centred Therapy and utilise scientific based practice underpinned by evidence.
Do you feel a bit lost, frustrated, down or hopeless and unsure of how to make changes? Perhaps you feel like you are repeating the same life patterns. You may feel like you have tried everything and are on your last attempt. Well done for taking this step as I understand how daunting it can be, having done so myself. Lots of people are unsure of what to expect, fear being judged, or have difficulty opening up. I believe we could all benefit from therapy at times.

I specialise in remote EMDR and CBT for overcoming a range of issues including past trauma and current anxiety related symptoms.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but cannot seem to change. They may struggle with anxiety, low self-worth, people-pleasing, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, trauma, or the lasting effects of earlier experiences. Some have had previous therapy and gained insight, yet still find themselves reacting in ways they would like to change. Through EMDR and attachment-informed therapy, I help clients process the experiences that continue to influence the present and create lasting change.

High-functioning but exhausted? I help professionals and high-achieving adults who look fine on the outside but feel tired, wired, or out of sync regain clarity, calm and resilience.
From the outside, you may look like you’re coping well. You’re capable, responsible, and used to managing pressure. But underneath, you might feel increasingly tired, wired, or out of sync with your body. Sleep may be disrupted. Brain fog, irritability, and self-doubt can creep in. You may feel you’re not functioning at your usual level — and that can be unsettling when you’re used to being on top of things.

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.
