Psychological Therapy

You might be looking for therapy because...
-
You spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think
-
You find yourself putting other people's needs before your own
-
You struggle to switch off even when things are going well.
-
You feel low or disconnected and want to understand why
-
You know you're being hard on yourself, but don't know how to change it
-
You want to understand yourself better rather than simply learn to “cope”
Many of the adults I work with are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years managing on their own. Outwardly they're functioning well, but inwardly they feel exhausted, stuck or frustrated that life isn't feeling as fulfilling as it should. You may have found you've been struggling with a difficulty for a long time or perhaps are going through a particularly stressful time in your life.


I can help with the following:
-
Feeling low in mood or depressed
-
Experiences of tension, anxiety or worry
-
Changeable moods
-
Stress
-
Strong emotional responses
-
Difficulty switching off at the end of the day
-
Struggling to cope and manage following stressful life events including symptoms of post-traumatic stress
-
Adjusting to life transitions
-
Relationship difficulties
-
Seeking greater understanding of oneself

What does therapy involve?
We would work together to gain a better understanding of your difficulties, what has led to them, what may be keeping them going and what can help moving forwards.
I draw on my knowledge and training in several evidence-based therapy approaches to ensure therapy is tailored to you, making sure you get the most from sessions and what has led you to therapy. The approaches I use focus on understanding the links between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how strategies we have developed to cope often make sense but may no longer be useful. Therapy can involve mapping out issues together, considering alternative ways of understanding things and trying out practical skills.

Online video therapy
I am trained and experienced in online video and face-to-face therapy. Online therapy allows you to access support from the comfort of your own space, wherever you’re based in the UK. This approach offers greater flexibility with location and appointment times, making it easier to fit therapy into your everyday life. Research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions.

Book your free consultation
It can be a tricky process finding the right therapist which is why I offer a free video consultation. This helps me to understand what you are hoping for and whether I am the best psychologist for you.
Sessions are 50-60 minutes and £120 (initial consultation is free).
I am registered with AXA Health and Aviva insurance providers.
