My Approach
Therapy is a collaborative process and aims to help you make sense of the main issues you are experiencing and find ways to overcome them as team.​​​ I provide a friendly and non-judgmental environment that enables people to feel comfortable discussing areas of difficulty.
​​​​There are many psychotherapeutic approaches. I am trained to deliver one of the most widely prescribed form of psychological therapies, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
With a strong evidence-base for common and severe mental health problems, CBT has been shown to be effective for depression and anxiety disorders including obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety, low self-esteem, health anxiety, panic disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. ​​​
CBT is highly adaptive to an individuals needs and draws from a wide range of theoretical models. It helps to make sense of problems in a way that is easy to understand and identifies key areas to focus on.
We will work together and incorporate your strengths to build resilience and prevent your problems from holding you back.
