Therapies I Offer:
​Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to improve emotional, mental and physical wellbeing. CBT is primarily focused on helping you develop the tools to better manage current and future difficulties. This includes problem-solving, coping strategies, communication skills, and stress management. Known as a 'solutions-focused' therapy, CBT has been proven to be effective in as little as five sessions.
​
Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy helps you identify and change deep-rooted patterns that affect your emotions, relationships, and behavior. Unlike CBT, which focuses on present thoughts and actions, schema therapy targets the underlying beliefs and experiences that drive long-term struggles. This approach fosters lasting change by addressing the root causes, not just the symptoms, and is particularly suited to those who have tried therapy before but feel like they are still trying to manage their emotional reactions and coping responses.
​
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT aims to develop psychological flexibility and help you identify when problems need immediate action and when a situation needs to be accepted as it is, or until necessary changes occur. ACT encourages you to embrace and sit with thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to challenge or change them. ACT has a strong focus on ensuring your actions align with your personal values and goals.
​
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT teaches skills to help people cope with day-to-day struggles, including relationship issues, and replace harmful behaviours with more healthy ones. The core componenets of DBT are distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness. DBT is useful for anyone who has difficulty managing strong emotions and/or impulsive reactions.
​
Mindfulness Practices
Learn to acknowledge your experiences without judgement, feel without reacting and reduce stress through techniques that connect mind and body. Mindfulness has a wealth of evidence behind it that shows regular practice produces detectable improvements to brain physiology. In the short-term, mindfulness can help manage anxiety, anger, impulsive reactions and compulsive behaviour.
