What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a term used to describe working at depth with a therapist to understand your difficulties and patterns of relating which are often a result of past, contextual and cultural experiences. I can support you to develop a healthier relationship with yourself, the world and others. Psychotherapy is process of exploration, helping you to understand yourself better and make long lasting changes in your life. It can be hard work but ultimately leads to growth and a more fulfilled way of living.

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how our unconscious ‘core beliefs’ can affect our day to day thinking, emotions, bodily sensations and behaviours which may result in becoming stuck in unhelpful patterns or cycles. CBT can be very helpful in developing skills to manage worry & anxiety, low mood, addressing phobias and panic attacks within a short term framework.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a technique that works to process traumatic or overwhelming experiences. I use it to support people to heal from PTSD symptoms from a single incident trauma, to integrating it into psychotherapy to work through complex trauma.
