Talking Therapies
Each individual is unique and this informs my work with clients. I pay particular attention to the therapeutic relationship and believe this is the key to our work together.
If you’re feeling stressed, anxious, upset, overwhelmed or numb and disconnected from your life and the people in it, talking to a therapist can offer you a way to untangle and explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and the links between them, in a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate way. Through gaining a better understanding of these aspects of ourselves we can deepen our self-knowledge and create the conditions for growth, insight and change.
No single therapy works for everyone. That’s why I use an integrative approach, combining elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to tailor support to your unique needs. By combining these approaches, I can adapt therapy to suit both your immediate challenges and deeper emotional patterns, giving you a more complete, flexible, and effective pathway to growth, resilience, and well-being.
I am experienced in working with a wide range of issues including:
Abuse, ADD/ADHD, Anger, depression, bereavement and loss, relationship issues, anxiety and panic, self-harm, suicidal ideation, childhood related issues, parenting, disability, health related issues, infertility, menopause, mood disorder, neurodiversity, OCD, trauma, redundancy, work related issues, sexuality, self esteem and identity.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Different approaches can be more effective depending on your needs, circumstances, and personal preferences. That’s why I work integratively, drawing on a range of therapies to create a tailored approach that feels right for you.
Below you’ll find a short guide to the different modalities of therapy I work with.
- Person Centred Therapy
- Attachment-Based Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Compassion Focused Therapy
- Schema Therapy
See below for details.
Person Centred Therapy
What it is:
This humanistic approach focuses on creating a safe, non-judgemental, and supportive therapeutic relationship. It’s based on the belief that every person has the capacity for growth and change when provided with the right environment.
What to expect:
Sessions are client-led, meaning you bring what feels important to you, and I listen with empathy and acceptance. This approach can help you explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
What it can help with:
Low confidence and self-worth
Life transitions
Grief and loss
Relationship struggles
Anxiety and depression
Attachment Based Therapy
What it is:
Attachment-Based Therapy is grounded in the idea that early relationships with caregivers shape how we connect with others later in life. Difficulties in attachment can affect how safe, secure, and connected we feel in relationships.
What to expect:
Together we’ll explore your early experiences and how they may influence your current relationships and emotional patterns. This awareness can help you build healthier, more secure connections.
What it can help with:
Relationship struggles
Trust issues
Feelings of abandonment
Childhood trauma
Anxiety and depression
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
What it is:
CBT is a structured, evidence-based therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It helps you identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of seeing situations.
What to expect:
CBT sessions are often goal-focused and practical. You may work on specific techniques, such as challenging negative thoughts, keeping thought diaries, or gradually facing situations that cause anxiety.
What it can help with:
Anxiety and panic
Depression and low mood
Stress and burnout
Phobias and OCD
Low self-esteem
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
What it is:
CFT is designed to help people who struggle with high levels of shame or self-criticism. It draws on neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and mindfulness to develop a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
What to expect:
In sessions, you’ll learn techniques to activate your “soothing system”, such as guided imagery, breathing exercises, and compassionate thinking practices, to reduce self-criticism and improve emotional wellbeing.
What it can help with:
Shame and guilt
Self-criticism
Trauma
Relationship challenges
Eating difficulties
Schema Therapy
What it is:
Schema Therapy explores deep-rooted patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that often develop in childhood. These “schemas” can continue to affect how you see yourself and relate to others in adult life.
What to expect:
Schema Therapy is a longer-term approach that helps you identify and understand your schemas, work through unmet needs from the past, and develop healthier coping strategies.
What it can help with:
