About the therapy I provide.

What is CBT?

CBT is a type of talking therapy which helps you to better understand the ways your thoughts, feelings and behaviours work together. 


Initially, we will spend some time together exploring your story, the main difficulties you're experiencing and trying to better understand what is keeping you stuck in the current unhelpful cycles. We can then work towards focussing on breaking the vicious cycle that you are in by considering what we can gently challenge and beginning to introduce more helpful patterns of thinking and behaving.


CBT is a goal-focused therapy, alternative coping skills are learnt through exploration  together within the session and between session tasks throughout the week. The aim is to equip you with helpful tools in order to create lasting change and empower you to become your own therapist. 

Some common challenges I work with

Anxiety

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Social Anxiety

Stuck in high alert? Constant heightened worry that feels hard to switch off. You might find yourself worrying about everyday things like work, health, money or loved ones - even if there is no clear reason to be concerned.

Anxiety is a normal part of life but we can work together to tackle avoidance and build resilience to regain control of anxiety again.

Social Anxiety

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Social Anxiety

Worry about saying or doing the wrong thing, even in everyday moments like conversations, meetings, small talk or just being around others.  The fear of judgement, rejection, being embarrassed or misunderstood can hold you back from how you interact with others and in the world.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

 Unwanted, repetitive thoughts and urges to do certain behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions). These thoughts can feel intrusive and very distressing, often creating anxiety or a sense that something is not right.

Specific Phobias

Specific Phobias

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  Intense fear of particular things or situations, such as flying, heights, animals, or medical procedures. The fear is often much stronger than the actual danger, but it can feel very real and overwhelming in the moment.    You don’t have to avoid life because of fear—therapy can help you take small, manageable steps toward overcoming it. 

PTSD and Trauma

Specific Phobias

PTSD and Trauma

Common after experiencing or witnessing something deeply frightening or overwhelming e.g. feeling constantly on edge, avoiding reminders of what happened, or struggling with sleep, trust, and feeling safe even long after the danger has passed. 

Panic

Specific Phobias

PTSD and Trauma

Sudden and intense episodes of panic attacks or fear that can include symptoms like a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, or a feeling of losing control. Constant worry about when the next attack might happen. Support can help to reduce fear, regain confidence and control.

Often these difficulties show up scrambled together, which is completely normal - life is complex!
