Are you feeling stuck and not sure what you can do to help yourself? Do you feel lost and unable to trust your own decisions? Are you tired of the same unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns showing up and not knowing what to do to change them? Is your communication with your partner in need of some help? Working with individuals and couples both face-to-face and online, I offer a safe, secure and non-judgemental space where we will explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. With almost 10 years experience as a registered NCPS CBT and REBT Therapist, as well as a Couples Therapist, we will work together to help you discover simple, practical tools to feel more confident, calm and connected in your life and your relationships. If you are curious about therapy and how it might help you, but do not know where to start, please reach out for a free 15-minute chat and will be happy to answer any questions you have. INDIVIDUAL THERAPY Maybe you feel anxious or uncertain about the future? Maybe you feel a bit stuck or fed up? Is self-criticism the internal talk you are most familiar with? Is feeling ashamed of past life experiences stopping you from moving on and living in the present. The demands of modern life are often very fast-paced and sometimes we need additional help to stay true to who we are and what we would like from life. Working with me will offer you an opportunity to work on reducing unnecessary stress so you can feel more content in your life.   I am here to listen to your story. I help individual's overcome anxiety health, social, OCD, GAD , build self-confidence, improve low mood and deal with stress/burnout. I will help you identify unhelpful thinking patterns, teach you how to challenge this thinking, and work with you to learn better practical coping skills that will enable you to live a more fulfilling life. A qualified and experienced CBT therapist, I specialise in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy REBT . This therapy is grounded in the idea that people generally want to do well in life, however, sometimes irrational or unhelpful thinking can get in the way and stop us from achieving our goals. With this in mind, CBT/REBT is a practical and action-orientated approach to dealing with cognitive, emotional and behavioural difficulties. As you learn new techniques to help you work through any distress you may have, you will find ways of being able to do more of the things you like. COUPLES/RELATIONSHIP THERAPY Is your relationship in need of a health check?  Are you in a relationship and thinking about moving in together/getting engaged/married or starting a family and would like to do a check-in on your future together?  Are you finding communication in your relationship a bit problematic and maybe you would like to find some solutions?  Are you finding yourself questioning what the future holds for your relationship?    Relationships can be tricky to navigate and all too quickly we can fall into patterns of thinking and behaving that are not helpful for a healthy and happy relationship.  Demands and pressures of life mean we place less importance on our relationship and more importance on things elsewhere.  However, we still have an expectation that our relationships will be fulfilling and will stand the test of time.  We can sometimes forget to ‘check in’ on how the relationship is doing and in turn we drift apart or drift further into conflict.   Whatever your relationship i.e. couples, polyamorous, LGBTQIA+, family, siblings, friends, other, I can hold a space for you so that you feel heard and seen.  You will learn how to work on having your needs met so that your relationship reaps the benefits.  Working together we will explore and identify how your individual differences, values and needs in your relationship may differ and I will help you work on reducing conflict, improve communication, move towards better connectedness and intimacy so that together you will have the right tools to help you navigate the complexities of your relationship in our modern world.
