My approach
As a Clinical Psychologist I use an evidence-based approach and draw on a range of therapeutic models, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and an integrative approach for treating compulsive sexual behaviour.

I use a person-centred style and will work collaboratively with you to help explore how and why you struggle or feel "stuck'. With this understanding we can then focus on you developing strategies, behaviour changes and new skills to enable you to manage these challenges more effectively. As you learn to step back from the distress caused you will be better able to discover new choices that can help change your life. These new perspectives will enable you to break free of repeating and unrewarding automatic behaviours and responses.
