Areas of Expertise

Throughout my career, I have supported adults experiencing a broad spectrum of psychological difficulties, including:

• ADHD coaching

• Anxiety, panic attacks, and generalised anxiety disorder

• Depression and low mood

• Trauma and PTSD

• Postnatal depression

• Personality disorders, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

I have a particular interest in supporting clients through complex challenges such as identity, shame, and trauma, as well as working with individuals who experience difficulties in regulating emotions or maintaining stable relationships. My approach balances empathy, curiosity, and gentle challenge to help clients gain insight and make sustainable changes.

Therapeutic Approaches

My approach to therapy is integrative, adapting to the needs and preferences of each client. Some of my core modalities include:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Supporting clients in living in line with their values and building psychological flexibility.

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – Exploring the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours to identify patterns and develop coping strategies.

• Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) – Reducing self-criticism and cultivating self-compassion.

• Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) – Building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – Emphasising strengths and practical solutions for change.

• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) – Processing traumatic memories to reduce their emotional impact.

• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) – Cultivating awareness and acceptance to support mental wellbeing.

I take pride in tailoring therapy to the individual, ensuring that sessions are paced appropriately and delivered in a supportive, collaborative, and transparent way.
