We all want to enjoy the lives we have, not be bogged down in self criticism, overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in spirals of negative thinking, or be haunted by the past. If you find yourself here because you're struggling with anxiety, depression, painful emotions, self criticism, or patterns of coping that are damaging your life and your relationships, then you're in the right place. Again and again I have seen the power of compassion in releasing people from the suffering that can come with these cycles. With the right support you too can take the courageous, and sometimes painful steps towards becoming the person you'd like to be.
Therapy can help us find freedom and enjoyment, in ourselves, others, and our lives. My experience, together with the growing evidence that supports CFT, means that I often take a compassion-based approach to helping you change. If you need full program DBT or specialist CBT, I can support you within these therapies too. More at www.compassionatechange.co.uk
I am an experienced, warm and friendly Clinical Psychologist. Let's explore your difficulties together and consider what you need to create positive change in your life.
