Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Exploring links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and developing practical ways of responding differently.
Approach
Different people need different ways of working.
I draw flexibly on a range of evidence-based psychological approaches.
Psychodynamic therapy
Considering patterns in relationships, emotional experience and the ways past experiences can shape the present.
Compassion-focused therapy
Developing a less critical and more compassionate relationship with yourself, particularly where shame or self-criticism are prominent.
Mentalisation-based approaches
Developing greater curiosity about your own and other people's thoughts, feelings, intentions and perspectives.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Building psychological flexibility and identifying ways of living in line with what matters to you.
Mindfulness-based approaches
Learning ways to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily experiences without becoming overwhelmed by them.
Attachment-based approaches
Understanding how experiences of connection, security and relationships may influence current patterns.
Interpersonal & relational therapy
Working directly with difficulties in relationships and the patterns that emerge between people.
Integrative therapy
Bringing approaches together when a flexible combination is more appropriate than a single model.
The approach is selected around the person, the difficulty and the goals of therapy — not the other way around.
