If you tend to overthink, feel low or anxious, or are stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, CBT can help you understand what’s going on and change it. CBT doesnt have to be difficult, or complicated, but often we need a space to work out whats going on, set some goals and then move towards change.
I work with people who are often capable and thoughtful but feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt. Together we look at what’s keeping the problem going and find practical ways to shift it so life feels easier again.

Many people have had an experience of therapy in the past and it has not produced the results they wanted. This in part can be due to the person going to see a therapist who is trained in one specific therapeutic modality (approach), who then tries to make the client fit that one approach. Collaboratively, we will work together to help you feel better, happier, more in control and confident in who you are as a person. As you begin to understand yourself and why you do things more, this will open you up to greater awareness in all parts of your life; home, work and relationships.

I am an experienced therapist & clinical supervisor. A safe space is important and necessary for us to bring vulnerabilities & challenges. Living inevitably means that we face challenges - some experiences get stuck and leave us struggling to cope, or to be at our best. Slowing down, understanding processes, and utilising awareness can help us to live in a healthier way. I aim to help people clear a path for better flow in life and work. I value a healthy baseline - moving & eating well, sleeping soundly, making contact with nourishing people, and living with awareness. I offer Gestalt and DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting) approaches.

We all experience difficult times in our lives, suffering anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship issues, grief, bereavement, physical illness, emotional/physical abuse, low mood, and low motivation, to name just a few of the reasons people come to therapy. At times we will feel like we don’t want to ‘burden’ people with how we feel so we try to push through and carry on, we try to pretend all is ok, we try and cope by putting on a smile and a brave face, often we simply find we are unable to move forward and feel stuck.
