What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

The key idea behind CBT is that what you think (cognitive) and what you do (behavioural) affects the way you feel. Sometimes we can find ourselves stuck in vicious cycles where our thoughts and the things we’re doing to solve a problem inadvertently keep it going. This means we continue to experience the negative feelings associated with the problem. In many cases, it can also make it difficult to move forward with our lives. But it doesn't need to stay that way.

My approach

I'm here to help you figure out your emotional stuff so that you can move forwards. Move forward to a place where you feel good about yourself, you're not endlessly worrying and overthinking, you're not stuck thinking about the past, and you can switch off and actually relax. A place where you can stress less and start living.

The great thing about CBT is that it’s a collaborative therapy. I’m the expert in CBT and you’re the expert in you. We’ll figure things out together, so you can move beyond your difficulties and get on with your life. I’ll be with you every step of the way, making you feel safe and supported and allowing you to take things at your own pace.

I've helped hundreds of clients using CBT, and what makes my approach unique is that I'm also able to draw on my other trainings in Mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy, and Mindful Self-Compassion, to tailor the therapy so that it meets your unique needs.

I specialise in offering online CBT, not just because I think there's something special about being able to access therapy from the comfort of your own home, but because I believe that geographic location shouldn't be a barrier to accessing the right treatment with the right therapist wherever you are in the country.
