My approach is multi disciplinary, including Solution Focused, CBT, Mindfulness, Compassion Focused, Chairwork and Non-Violent Communication.
Are you suffering with anxiety, panic, depression, stress? Having relationship problems? Struggling with low confidence or self-esteem? Are you angry, irritable, short-tempered, or generally unhappy? Is your mind full of negativity that just doesn't go away? Confused, lost, overwhelmed, unable to concentrate or make decisions? Perhaps you could benefit from professional help. Asking for help is sometimes hard to do - perhaps you see this as a sign of weakness or failure. Sometimes we can't solve everything on our own. It's OK to ask for help. Admitting you have a problem is a sign of strength.

My work is evidence based and formulation-led, drawing on Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) alongside CBT and Trauma-focused CBT.
If you are feeling stuck in familiar patterns, overwhelmed by past experiences, or unsure how to move forward, you are not alone. You may notice the same difficulties showing up in relationships, how you cope with stress, or how you see yourself. Many people seek therapy because they want to understand why these patterns persist and find a way forward that feels grounded and purposeful. I offer trauma-informed psychological therapy, where developing a shared understanding of how your experiences have shaped these patterns is at the heart of the process of creating meaningful and sustainable change.

You may be a high-masking autistic or ADHD woman. You may have spent years coping, and even outwardly succeeding, until your nervous system simply can’t keep up. Many of my clients are neurodivergent women, often late-diagnosed or self-diagnosed, navigating burnout, perimenopause, trauma, self-doubt, and deep exhaustion from masking. You may have tried therapy before without lasting change and feel stuck in the same patterns. You’re looking for specialist, neurodiversity-affirming therapy that helps you understand why you struggle and offers practical ways to move forward.

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.
