“Everything can be taken from us but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”

What's great about CBT is it can be applied to many different emotional challenges. By assessing thoughts, feelings, and behaviour we learn how they are greatly influenced by the attitudes and beliefs that we hold as true. Some of those beliefs we hold, but no longer question, may be untrue and unhelpful.
Why CBT?
Expect to be equipped with knowledge and skills to identify and challenge these unhelpful attitudes, and develop helpful alternatives. A core component will be nurturing a strong acceptance-based philosophy to life. This will build resilience to difficulty and develop a better sense of whats important to us.
Typically, I work towards a 12-session model, but there's flexibility either way. One of the first things I'll ask is "what would you like to get out of therapy?" By establishing someone's ambitions we can create direction and a basis to monitor progress. Followed by walking through a full case history together to draw up your key areas of focus.
How will it work?
Helpful resources will be provided to support your understanding. E.g. readings, exercises, or videos. As we progress, I will gently encourage you to put into practice your learnings each week. This is key to breaking patterns and increasing self-knowledge. Each week we’ll review and build upon them.
I talk to people with different backgrounds, class, gender, sexual orientation, and race. They’re experts of their experience, and I have specialist knowledge to help reflect on that experience. Central to my practice is compassion, non-judgment, and encouragement. If they can bring honesty and a desire to make changes, then we’re sure to make progress.
Is it for me?
According to the research, the relationship between a client and therapist is key to effective outcomes. Tending to be more important than the modality the therapist has been trained in. So please get in touch to organise a 30-minute introduction call and see if I'm best placed to help.

About me
Due to making some life-affirming progress on my own emotional well-being during my early twenties coupled with a desire to support others, I’ve been drawn to sharing the magic of talking therapy as a profession. I’m kind, compassionate, and thoughtful, and I like to develop strong relationships with the clients I work with and enjoy seeing the progress they make.
My experience to date runs across several presenting problems, namely anxiety, effective communication, and depression. Alongside my private practice, I also work with Walking With the Wounded. Helping veterans who are typically presenting with PTSD and issues with irritability, rage, and aggressiveness. I also volunteer for a suicide helpline as a listener, supporting those in significant emotional distress.
