Firstly, hello and welcome to my profile. Thank you for taking the time to explore if the therapy I offer may be helpful for you. It can sometimes be daunting looking into beginning or restarting therapy so if you have any questions please do let me know.

What I Can Help You With (ie anxiety, depression, stress etc)

I have experience of working with adults who may be experiencing a range of difficulties such as Depression, Anxiety, Worry, Social Anxiety, Stress, Burnt-Out, Self Esteem Difficulties, Health Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, workplace difficulties and Post Natal Depression.

What Therapy I Offer

I am an integrative Psychotherapist which means I am able to adapt the therapy I offer and include different types of therapy and skills to provide a therapy that is tailored to you. The key therapies that I am trained in and use are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy.

What is CBT and What to Expect from the Sessions

CBT is the recommended treatment for many of the above difficulties. Generally, it can help you change behaviours that you're not happy with and it can help shift unhelpful thoughts.

Above all, our sessions will give you a safe, confidential and supportive space. They will allow you to explore and develop insights into how you are currently interacting in the world and points where you feel a sense of being stuck. We can use these insights to understand how to move more towards the things that are meaningful to you in your life.

I value the therapeutic relationship that we build. I work with a strong ethic of promoting self choice and autonomy and my work is focused on kindly empowering people to take an active role in their wellbeing. I see my role as being alongside you exploring what you are struggling with to help you live a life you’re happy with.

Location

I offer therapy online via video call which allows you to be from anywhere in the world to access our sessions! 

Video Session Information

I offer video sessions which can make it easier for busy schedules and allows you to access therapy at a time that is far more convenient with less stress of travel.

Some people worry that video sessions won’t be as effective as face to face. I can assure you that we can still build a trusting and supportive environment in this way and the work that we do together will be the same as if it was face to face.

Some people also worry that having video sessions means having them in their house and this can feel difficult for people. I’ve worked with people who have sat in their car or in their garden to make this feel better for them. Whatever works for you.

Social Media

Please feel free to check out my business Instagram page.

*My business Instagram page is currently not being updated as I am focusing my time on providing therapy sessions to people. However, it does have information that may be helpful for you to explore.*

I offer a free 15minute telephone discussion where you can briefly ask any questions about the therapy I offer to help figure out if we would like to arrange an initial session.  

All sessions last 50minutes. Initially, we will complete a full assessment where we will explore what has brought you to therapy and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. It will also allow you time to decide whether therapy with myself may be helpful for you and you can ask me questions about the therapy I provide to make sure it is a good fit for you.
