In the years that I have been in psychology field, I have acquired training in the different types of therapy namely CBT, Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, and Action and Commitment Therapy.
Be it a loss of a job or a loved one, a breakdown in a romantic or work relationship, these challenges all ask for some level of adjustment to take place. These life experiences may bring feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, and so forth. In attempts to alleviate the distressing feelings, we as humans desire for a space where we can be vulnerable in expressing ourselves and our fears at the time. Our ultimate desire is to be equipped with tools and techniques which will not only alleviate our pain but also contribute to our self-growth.

Life can sometimes feel heavy; filled with anxiety, emotional distress, or the weight of circumstances that feel too difficult to manage alone. You may be trying to stay strong, but beneath the surface, you’re exhausted from holding everything together. Whether you’re navigating loss, uncertainty, or the quiet ache of feeling stuck, you long for peace, clarity, and the tools to move forward with confidence and purpose.

Using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), I help you recognise and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, build a stronger mindset, and develop practical tools to overcome obstacles.
Who we believe we are is often shaped by what we have been through, and over time those experiences can become what holds us back. To move forward, we need the courage to question those limits and challenge the old beliefs that no longer serve us. One of the most powerful realisations in life is that who you have been is not who you have to remain. You are able to change, grow, and step into more of what is possible for you.

My approach integrates evidence-based modalities including BSFT, CBT, RACT, and DBT within a carefully tailored, individualised framework.
Psychological distress often presents quietly. It might be persistent anxiety, a low mood, relational strain, trauma, or a gradual sense of disconnection from yourself and your direction. At pivotal moments, thoughtful and skilled therapeutic support can create the space for clarity, recalibration, and deeply meaningful change. I maintain a practice model that ensures therapeutic depth, attentiveness, and genuine engagement in the therapeutic process. You can expect to be met with warmth, discernment, and respect - your inner world approached with care and thoughtful curiosity. A journey of discovery and understanding together.

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.
