I approach therapy with warmth and compassion and find it a privilege getting to know the stories and lives of my adult clients. I believe in a collaborative relationship between therapist and client, with the client being an expert in life and myself bringing a wealth of psychological knowledge and coping strategies to assist every individual in developing themselves and their coping skills.

While I recognise the important role that early life experiences have on an individual, I tend to utlise “here and now” therapies which focus upon current difficulties, navigating transitions and overcoming behavioural patterns. I value being able to teach clients new skills and strategies to assist their coping, empowering them to become their own therapists in the future.

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

- Albus Dumbledore

I am continually extending my knowledge of new developments in therapy and psycholgoical treatment approaches. My treatment approach draws upon a number of therapy models which have research demonstrating their effectiveness, however I personalise my treatment plans to suit the individual, taking into conisderation their uniqueness and treatment goals and delivering these in a flexible and engaging manner. The psychological treatment and therapy approach I use is informed by the following therapy frameworks:

  • A person writing in a notebook with a black pen, sitting indoors near a window, with focus on their hands and the notebook.

    Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

  • A woman stands outdoors in front of hills, with her eyes closed and face tilted upward, across her neck and chin, her right hand gently touching her face, in a scenic landscape with a few clouds and leafless trees.

    Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

  • Four people sitting in a room, laughing and having a good time. Two are sitting on chairs, one on a woven stool, one sitting on the floor with a laptop and a cup, with a dark textured wall in the background.

    Interpersonal Therapy

  • A woman sitting by the water's edge, facing away from the camera, with a boat on the river and two ducks swimming nearby, during sunset.

    Mindfulness Based Therapy

  • Man sitting on a leather couch with his hand on his forehead, looking distressed in a dimly lit room.

    Schema Therapy

  • A white desk with a potted plant in a white pot, a black pen, a spiral notebook, and a smartphone.

    Solutions Focused Therapy

  • A young woman looking at her reflection in a small round mirror, with only her face visible in the reflection, surrounded by blurred natural elements like leaves and branches.

    Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
