Feeling anxious, low, or stuck? You're not alone.

Therapy works best as a partnership. I'll offer you a warm, non-judgmental space where you can be honest about what's going on — and together we'll work out what needs to change and how to get there. Here are the approaches I draw on most:

​

CBT

CBT is my primary approach, and for good reason — it's one of the most researched and effective therapies available. As the NHS explains, it works by helping you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In practice, that means we identify what's keeping you stuck and build practical strategies to change it — strategies you can use well beyond our sessions.

​

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS is a powerful approach for anyone who has ever felt at war with themselves — pulled in different directions, or struggling with an inner critic that won't quieten down. As the IFS Institute describes, it's built on the idea that we each have different internal 'parts', all with their own intentions, even when those parts cause us distress. In our sessions, we work to understand those parts with curiosity rather than judgment — and to build more harmony within.

​

Attachment Theory

The relationships we had early in life shape how we relate to others — and ourselves — as adults. Simply Psychology offers a clear overview of how attachment patterns develop and why they matter. In therapy, exploring your attachment style can help explain recurring patterns in relationships, and open up new ways of connecting that feel safer and more secure.
