Therapy Tailored to You: An Integrative Approach

I have nearly twenty years of experience helping individuals manage depression and low mood, anxiety difficulties including OCD, health anxiety and worry, and I have experience of supporting people with trauma.

How We Work: The Best of Both Worlds 

My approach blends the practical 'here-and-now' strategies of CBT with the emotional depth needed to understand the root of your struggles.

The "How": CBT & Practical Tools

We look at the "vicious cycles" of thoughts and behaviours keeping you stuck. This provides the "road map" and the skills to manage anxiety, depression, or stress in your daily life.

The "Why": Integrative Insight

We also explore the roots of these patterns. By understanding your history and how you relate to yourself and others, we create deeper, more lasting emotional change.

The "Relationship": A Safe Space

One of the most important factors in therapy is the relationship between us. I provide a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard and supported.

Why Chose An Integrative Approach?

Sometimes "pure" CBT can feel a bit clinical. By taking integrative approach, we ensure that:

• We go at your pace: We don't just "power through" a manual.

• We look at the big picture: We address your childhood, your environment, and your self-compassion.

• We are flexible: If a specific technique doesn't feel right for you, we pivot to find what does.

• A Collaborative Partnership: We work as a team. You are the expert on your life; I am the guide for the therapeutic process.

• A Balanced Session: Part of our time might be spent learning a new coping strategy, while another part is spent simply processing a difficult week or a painful memory.

• Sustainable Change: Our goal is to not only reduce your symptoms but to help you feel more "at home" within yourself.
