My approach includes Person Centred Therapy, CBT, Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness.
Do you sometimes feel invisible or like an outsider, as if you don't belong? Does life feel like an uphill battle most of the time? Do you feel exhausted, desperate or overwhelmed? You may even be feeling a deep sense of frustration, anxiety or anger. Your upbringing, cultural background or significant life events can affect the way you view yourself and how you respond to your world. Sometimes we can become overwhelmed by our own self limiting beliefs and destructive patterns.

As a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, my focus is to help clients find new perspectives and change things that are not working.
I specialise in stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, PTSD, panic, OCD, bereavement, long term health conditions, relationship difficulties. Are you feeling stuck, down, lonely, anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? You may be struggling to cope with a busy job/lifestyle, health issues, family, loss of a loved one, or difficulties in relationships. My clients often feel not good enough, alone, or are failing in life. I help my clients feel happier, calmer, less anxious, more confident, and able to sleep better. They are better able to cope with life stresses, health issues, and create harmonious relationships.

The foundation of my therapeutic work is Person Centred and where appropriate I draw on other therapeutic techniques such as CBT, Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness.
Often our anxieties and difficulties can weigh us down and we are unable to find a way forward. Our thoughts and feelings can be confusing and talking to friends and relatives about our concerns may be too difficult. I provide a confidential, safe, respectful and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your difficulties, gain insight and discover a way forward. I provide a counselling relationship where you are heard, understood and accepted. This is extremely powerful because it allows you to open up and express all of your thoughts and feelings and gain a new awareness which leads to the potential for positive change.

I offer support through difficult times, working with individuals in order to help them explore how they relate to themselves and those around them using counselling theories like The Person Centred Approach, Transactional Analysis and CBT.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, alone, anxious or low? Life doesn't need to be this way. Do you need someone who will be able to understand your struggles and listen to what you need? I'm a fully qualified Counsellor and member of the BACP and abide by their code of ethics. I had a varied career before becoming a Counsellor, working in financial services in The City, other office jobs, factory and warehouse work and have experienced redundancy. I believe this broad range of experience helps me relate to people from every walk of life and understand the pressures we often find ourselves under.

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.
