About Tim
My name is Tim, and I'm a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges. I believe that therapy should never be a 'one-size-fits-all' process. Instead, I offer an integrative approach that tailors evidence-based methods to your specific needs, ensuring that our work together is both relevant and effective.
In our sessions, I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your difficulties. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or the impact of trauma, we will work collaboratively to make sense of your experiences. My goal is to help you process difficult emotions while developing the practical tools necessary for lasting emotional wellbeing.
I specialise in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), an evidence-based approach designed to treat mood disorders by focusing on the connection between your relationships and your mental health. By incorporating elements of attachment and communication theory, I help you understand the root of your challenges and work towards resolving the life events that contribute to emotional distress. In addition, I offer EMDR for trauma disorders.
