My Therapeutic Approach
My Therapeutic Approach
To me, it's important to provide a comfortable and safe space for you to talk about the difficulties you are experiencing; and to build a supportive and collaborative partnership so that we can work together on what is important to you.
My approach is informed by my training in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). I use different skills and techniques from these therapies, tailoring your sessions to meet your needs and goals. To find out more about these therapies, click on the links below.

What to Expect
What to Expect
The first appointment is an opportunity for me to fully understand the difficulties you are experiencing, to talk through what you would like to get out of our time together and make a plan. I'm likely to ask you lots of questions in the first session.
I might ask you to try some techniques that I think would be helpful, rather than just listen to me talking about them. I will encourage you to take the skills you have learnt in session and apply them in your day to day life. Regular appointments are most beneficial; however, sessions can be weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or however often is helpful for you. Appointments can be face to face or via telehealth (e.g., Zoom), or a mixture of both.
