About me
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, or in this case, with an email or phone call!
Do you sometimes think you’re ‘not good enough’ then compare yourself to your friends or family and worry what they think about you? Perhaps you feel envious of other’s abilities.
Or maybe you feel nervous in social situations and end up drinking too much and regretting it afterwards. How often do you avoid something because it seems too overwhelming?
Do you find it difficult to maintain relationships with friends, family or colleagues? Do you get upset with people, or do they get upset with you?
Or perhaps you’re more worried about fluffing that job interview, failing an exam, making a mistake or getting things wrong. If you do get something wrong, do you think it’s end-of-the-world awful?
I can help you manage your emotions and overwhelming feelings, so they don’t get in the way of you enjoying yourself, or missing out on life and doing the things you really want to do.
Whether it’s ADHD-related, Generalised Anxiety or Panic Disorder, OCD, PTSD, Trauma, C-PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD/EUPD), or emotional regulation problems related to being neurodivergent, therapy sessions with me will help you feel better about yourself.
Together we’ll identify what’s holding you back and use Cognitive, Dialectical and Rational Emotive Behaviour (CBT/DBT/REBT) problem-solving skills to challenge and change any unhelpful beliefs you have. The idea is that your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are all inter-connected, so when you change the way you think about things, it becomes easier to manage your feelings and behaviours.
A lot of stuff can cause problems, from confusing and unpleasant emotions, relationship issues and work concerns, to a difficult upbringing and unpleasant life experiences.
Sometimes we have more complex problems, other times we feel stuck because our life isn’t going the way we would like. Talking through things in a focussed way will help you understand what you need to change, and then we can work together on an individual plan to help you move forward, because you are much more than your diagnosis.
