My Approach

Therapy is a collaborative process and aims to help you make sense of the main issues you are experiencing and find ways to overcome them as team.​​​ I provide a friendly and non-judgmental environment that enables people to feel comfortable discussing areas of difficulty.

​​​​There are many psychotherapeutic approaches. I am trained to deliver one of the most widely prescribed forms of psychological therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).

With a strong evidence-base for common and severe mental health problems, CBT has been shown to be effective for depression and anxiety disorders including obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety, low self-esteem, health anxiety, panic disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.  ​​​

CBT is highly adaptive to an individual’s needs and draws from a wide range of theoretical models. It helps to reach a shared understanding of different problems in a way that is easy to grasp and identifies key areas to focus on.

We will work together and incorporating your strengths to build resilience and prevent your problems from holding you back.
