I offer a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you will be supported and heard. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but I am here to ensure you don't have to do it alone. My aim is to help you work towards positive change at your own pace, providing professional guidance every step of the way. As an integrative therapist, I tailor my approach to suit your individual needs. I frequently incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is particularly effective if you feel stuck in your current circumstances. By using CBT, we can break down your problems into manageable parts, recognise unhelpful patterns of behaviour, and build new ways of thinking and coping. I am also an EMDR therapist - EMDR is a trauma focused therapy that helps the brain process distressing or overwhelming experiences that may be contributing to anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or emotional distress. It can be delivered safely and effectively online, and many clients find it helpful for working through both recent and past experiences that continue to affect their wellbeing. In our initial sessions, we will gently explore what is troubling you and identify what you would like to change. If you are not yet sure what your specific goals are, that is absolutely okay; many people feel this way. Together, we will work to find clarity and direction in a way that feels natural and comfortable for you.
