Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), alongside a focus on deeper understanding, compassion, and meaningful, lasting change.

​

Together, we work to:

• gently understand the patterns and beliefs shaping your experience

• develop practical tools to help you respond differently

• create space for change that feels both realistic and sustainable

​

For those who would like it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into our work. This might include exploring how your beliefs, values, or relationship with God connect with your mental and emotional wellbeing. This is always led by you, and there is no expectation for this to be part of the process.

​

CBT is an evidence-based talking therapy, with a focus on the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Often, we find ourselves caught in unhelpful thought patterns which can result in negative behaviours. When we become more aware of ourselves and are able to challenge and adapt those thoughts and behaviours, we can start to improve how we feel. 

 

CBT is a collaborative way of working; you bring your experiences, I bring my training and insight, and together, we work to adapt your day-to-day thoughts and behaviours with the goal of improving your mood. Furthermore, the long-term aim is for you to finish therapy equipped with practical tools and meaningful knowledge and experience of how to apply them, so that you can become your own therapist.
