I work with adults (18 +) providing bespoke, individually tailored, psychological therapy. Some common experiences that I work with are listed below. I also work with people who are feeling more generally stuck, are unsure of why things don't feel right, and would like to understand their experiences better and seek a way forward.
​
-
Anxiety (e.g., generalised anxiety, health anxiety, phobias, panic, social anxiety)
-
Low mood / depression
-
Trauma and navigating difficult past experiences
-
Low self-esteem / self-criticism
-
Work and life stress (including burnout)
-
Grief, loss, and life transitions
-
Understanding and navigating neurodivergence (e.g., autism, adhd)
-
Specialist support for long-term pain conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, hEDS).
​
*please note, I am unable to offer support to those experiencing a mental health crisis, if you require urgent care please contact your GP or call NHS 111. If you feel yourself, or others, may be at risk of harm please attend A&E or call the emergency services.
What I can help with
What to expect
Initial Consultation
A free 20 minute discussion (phone or online) to decide if you would like to work with me and if I have the right skill set for you.
​
Assessing and Understanding what has brought you to therapy
During the initial session/s I will ask you questions about what has brought you to therapy, and what you might like to be different. We will begin to map out your difficulties through a discussion (when they began, what factors influenced them, what is keeping them going, etc.), creating a clearer narrative. Often we will return to this and build on it throughout therapy.
Ongoing Therapy Sessions
​
Dependent on what has brought you to therapy, we may explore important parts of your life story, the past, present, and future, your thoughts and emotions, your relationships, and perhaps how you feel physically. We might building new coping skills, try out guided practices, develop new ways to look at life, or spend time processing trauma.
​
I am trained in a range of evidence-based therapies and tailor and integrate approaches dependent on your needs, drawing on what will be helpful for you. First and foremost, I aim to build a non-judgemental and compassionate space, where sometimes difficult, often courageous, and hopefully transformative conversations can take place.
​
Some of the approaches I use are:
​
-
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
-
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR)
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Mindfulness
-
Narrative and Relational
