My approach to CBT is deeply rooted in understanding the ways in which past experiences shape our present thoughts and behaviours.
As a CBT therapist I work with various difficulties which contribute to how someone is feeling in the present time. This is inclusive of but not limited to; past trauma, domestic abuse, low-self esteem and bereavement. Our past experiences can profoundly affect our emotional well-being, often manifesting as persistent depression or anxiety, overwhelming emotions, or a sense of hopelessness. Through my practice, I offer a compassionate space where clients can explore these challenges and begin their journey towards healing and resilience.

I have been providing CBT ( Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy) for over twenty years.
Are you struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress? Do you feel stuck and unsure about how to help yourself? Perhaps you have tried everything you know to get yourself out of this rut, or dark hole, and nothing has worked? Cognitive-behavioural therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy. In fact, it is the recommended treatment of choice for depression and anxiety. My typical client is a high achieving, hard-working banker, but I welcome clients from all occupational backgrounds and from all parts of the world.

I am a qualified psychotherapist with a background of training in psychodynamic, person centred and cognitive behavioural therapy.
You may be experiencing a period in your life where personal circumstances are proving quite challenging, sometimes these difficulties can become overwhelming causing us to withdraw. The therapeutic process allows room for change and with the support of a therapist, progress can begin towards a different outlook towards yourself, your current circumstances and resources to develop and maintain a greater quality of life.
