I offer structured, evidence-based psychological therapy for adults.

This approach is suited to people who want a clear understanding of their

difficulties and are looking for more than short-term coping strategies. I work

with difficulties such as anxiety, low mood and depression, trauma, and

longstanding behavioural patterns that can feel difficult to change.

​

Alongside more clearly defined difficulties such as anxiety, depression, or

trauma, I also work with people who find themselves at a point where things

no longer feel as they once did.

 

This might involve a sense that something is not quite right, a loss of direction,

or a growing awareness that previous ways of managing are no longer working.

Often, there is no single event that explains this shift, but rather a gradual

change in how life feels or makes sense.

​

These experiences can be difficult to articulate, but can be just as important to understand as more clearly

defined problems

​

How Therapy works

Therapy usually begins with an initial assessment.

This is my opportunity to understand what is going on for you, including what

has led you to seek therapy at this point in time, and the difficulties you are

currently experiencing. From this, we develop a shared understanding, of what

may be maintaining those difficulties.

​

This helps me ensure that therapy is focused and relevant to your specific

situation.

 

Therapy itself:

Following the assessment, therapy focuses on addressing the patterns and processes that are keeping difficulties in place.

The work is tailored to you and draws on a range of evidence-based psychological approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), used in a flexible and individualised way.

​

The emphasis is on developing a clear understanding of your difficulties and making meaningful, lasting changes, rather than simply managing symptoms.

​

Sessions are collaborative and purposeful, with a clear sense of direction, while still allowing space to explore what feels important. Sessions are available in-person and online.

​

How I work:

My approach is structured and formulation-driven. This means the focus is on me understanding how your difficulties have developed and what is keeping them going, and then working in a targeted way to address these factors.

This is typically more structured than purely supportive or open-ended therapy, and is often suited to people who want clarity, direction, but with a deeper understanding of their situation.
