My Specialties
ADULT THERAPY
Adults facing mental health issues or life challenges can benefit from professional tailored support. I provide a confidential and non-judgmental environment where adults can explore their concerns, develop coping strategies, and work towards personal growth and improved mental wellness.
DEPRESSION/MOOD DISORDERS
Depression and mood disorders can be overwhelming, but with the right support, individuals can navigate through their struggles and find hope. I offer compassionate and evidence-based interventions to help clients manage their symptoms, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop effective coping mechanisms, empowering them to lead a more fulfilling life.
ADOLESCENT THERAPY
Adolescence can be a challenging time, and I am here to offer tailored support to help young individuals navigate through this phase. Through personalized sessions, I aim to address the unique emotional and psychological needs of adolescents, empowering them to cope with stress, build resilience, and enhance their overall well-being.
ANXIETY DISORDERS
Anxiety disorders, constant worrying, social anxiety and OCD, can be debilitating, but with the right tools, individuals can learn to manage and alleviate their symptoms. I provide a supportive and collaborative space where clients can explore their anxiety triggers, learn effective coping strategies, and cultivate a sense of calm and confidence. My aim is to empower individuals to overcome anxiety and regain control of their lives.
PHOBIAS
CBT is an effective approach for individuals struggling with phobias. It helps clients identify and challenge their irrational thoughts and beliefs related to their fears. Through our structured sessions, clients learn coping skills and techniques to gradually confront and manage their phobias in a safe environment. This process not only reduces anxiety but also empowers individuals to regain control over their lives, allowing them to engage more fully in everyday activities without the limitations imposed by their fears.
TRAUMA/ PTSD
Experiencing trauma, PTSD and complex trauma (CPTSD) can be deeply distressing, but healing is possible. Through a trauma-informed approach, I help individuals process their experiences, manage stress, and rebuild a sense of safety and resilience. My goal is to empower clients to navigate through their challenges and cultivate a greater sense of well-being.
STRESS
Stress can be overwhelming and can take over an individual's life. However, with the right support people can learn effective strategies to manage their stress better. By implementing these techniques, I can help my clients to cultivate a calmer and more balanced life. Seeking help is a strong step towards a healthier mindset.
ANGER ISSUES
Uncontrolled anger can strain relationships and impact mental health. In anger management therapy, I assist individuals in understanding and regulating their emotions, fostering healthy expression, and developing constructive coping mechanisms. Together, we work towards promoting emotional balance and constructive conflict resolution.
SELF ESTEEM/BODY IMAGE
Low self-esteem and body images issues can have a negative impact on all aspects of someone's life. Through therapeutic techniques, clients can learn to recognize irrational or unhelpful thoughts that undermine their self-worth, replacing them with more balanced and realistic perspectives. While practical exercises that encourage skill-building, such as setting achievable goals and engaging in positive self-talk, can reinforce a more positive self-image. By fostering self-awareness and equipping clients with coping strategies, I can empowers individuals to cultivate greater self-acceptance and confidence, ultimately paving the way for healthier relationships and an improved quality of life.
ADDICTIONS/SUBSTANCE MISUSE
Addictions (such as gambling, internet and gaming addiction etc) and substance misuse (alcohol and drugs) can have a profound impact on individuals and their loved ones. I provide personalized treatment to address the complexities of addiction, offering support, guidance, and practical strategies to promote recovery and long-term well-being. My approach integrates empathy, understanding, and evidence-based techniques to facilitate positive change.
GENDER IDENTITY & SEXUALITY
CBT can be a valuable resource for individuals navigating gender and sexual identity issues by providing a structured approach to challenge negative thought patterns and behaviours related to self-identity. We can explore and reframe beliefs about gender norms and sexuality, societal expectations, and own self-perceptions, which may contribute to feelings of confusion, anxiety, or distress. I can help individuals identify cognitive distortions and develop healthier, more affirming perspectives. I can assist in building coping strategies to manage external pressures, improve self-acceptance, and increase resilience in the face of discrimination or rejection. Ultimately, through the application of practical techniques and support, I can empower individuals to navigate their unique journeys of gender identity with greater confidence and stability. I am passionate about working within a gender, sexuality, and trans-affirmative framework.
ADHD/NEURODIVERSITY
CBT can assist individuals with ADHD and neurodiversity as it focuses on practical strategies to manage symptoms and enhance daily functioning. By helping individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns, we encourages the development of personalized coping mechanisms and behavioural modifications. For people with ADHD, it can aid in improving organization, time management, and impulse control, while fostering greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. For those embracing neurodiversity, CBT offers a supportive framework that respects unique cognitive differences, empowering them to harness their strengths and navigate challenges effectively. Ultimately, CBT can promote a more positive self-image and improved quality of life by equipping individuals with actionable skills to thrive within their neurodiverse perspectives.
