CBT is a structured, evidence‑based therapy that helps you understand the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. By identifying unhelpful patterns, we work together to develop practical strategies that promote lasting change. CBT is effective for anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low mood, and many other mental health challenges.

Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) is a semi-structured, brief psychodynamic therapy to support people experiencing low mood, particularly where this is connected to difficulties in relationships. It focuses on identifying recurring patterns in how you relate to others and understand yourself, often shaped by earlier attachment experiences. By bringing these patterns into awareness, it helps you make sense of emotional responses and begin to relate in ways that feel more balanced and intentional.

ACT helps you develop psychological flexibility, the ability to accept difficult emotions while committing to actions aligned with your values. This approach supports deeper self‑acceptance, meaning, and resilience, and can be particularly helpful for managing uncertainty, stress, and intrusive thoughts.

CFT fosters self‑kindness and emotional resilience, especially when you’re struggling with self‑criticism, shame, or high self‑expectations. It combines mindfulness with compassion‑based practices to build emotional balance and inner strength.

Integrating movement, breathwork, journaling, and art‑based tools, these approaches help you connect with your body and creativity. They can deepen insight, relieve tension, and complement verbal therapy by offering alternative ways to process emotions and experiences.

I do not deliver family therapy, but I draw on systemic family practice from my social work training to enrich my work with individuals. This means I consider how your family context might influence your experiences, as well as how your personal challenges may impact those around you. Drawing on principles from Systemic Therapy and Family Group Conferencing, I aim to enhance understanding of family strengths and needs, and support connection to helpful networks of care and support.
