Anxiety & Panic Disorders
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but it does not have to control your life. Through CBT, we work together to understand the thought patterns and behaviours that fuel your anxiety, then develop practical strategies to break the cycle.
Whether you experience generalised anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, or health anxiety, I will tailor our sessions to your specific needs and pace.
What to expect:
- Identifying and challenging anxious thought patterns
- Panic attack management and grounding techniques
- Gradual exposure to feared situations at your pace
- Relaxation and breathing strategies for daily life
Depression
Depression can drain your energy, motivation, and enjoyment of life. CBT is one of the most effective treatments available, helping you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Together, we will work to break the cycle of low mood and build practical skills to help you move forward with renewed purpose and hope.
What to expect:
- Behavioural activation to gradually rebuild daily routines
- Identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns
- Building resilience and self-compassion
- Practical homework exercises between sessions
Trauma & PTSD
Traumatic experiences can leave lasting impacts on your mental health, relationships, and sense of safety. I specialise in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based approach specifically designed for trauma and PTSD.
We will work at your pace to process difficult memories and rebuild your sense of control and safety, without ever pushing you beyond what feels manageable.
What to expect:
- Trauma-focused CBT and Cognitive Processing Therapy
- Processing difficult memories in a safe, structured way
- Rebuilding safety, trust, and stability
- Developing coping strategies for flashbacks and triggers
Relationship Issues
Difficulties in relationships can affect every area of your life. Whether you are struggling with communication, trust, boundaries, or recurring patterns of conflict, CBT can help you understand and change the dynamics that are causing distress.
I work with individuals to explore how their thoughts and beliefs about relationships influence their behaviour, and develop healthier ways of relating to others.
What to expect:
- Building effective communication skills
- Understanding and resolving recurring conflicts
- Developing healthy boundaries
- Rebuilding trust and intimacy
OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can be exhausting and isolating. CBT, particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is the gold-standard treatment for OCD, helping you gradually reduce the power of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours.
We will work together to understand your OCD cycle and develop a structured, compassionate plan to help you reclaim your time and freedom.
What to expect:
- Understanding your OCD cycle and triggers
- Gradual exposure and response prevention (ERP)
- Cognitive restructuring of intrusive thoughts
- Relapse prevention strategies
Low Self-Esteem & Confidence
Low self-esteem often sits beneath other difficulties like anxiety or depression. CBT can help you identify the deep-rooted beliefs driving your self-criticism and replace them with a more balanced, compassionate view of yourself.
Together, we will explore where these beliefs came from and build practical skills to strengthen your confidence and sense of self-worth.
What to expect:
- Identifying and challenging negative core beliefs
- Building self-compassion and self-acceptance
- Setting and achieving meaningful personal goals
- Developing assertiveness and healthy boundaries
Stress Management
Modern life brings constant demands, and chronic stress can take a serious toll on your mental and physical health. CBT provides practical tools to manage stress more effectively, helping you regain balance and control.
We will work together to identify your stress triggers, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop a personalised toolkit of coping strategies.
What to expect:
- Identifying and managing stress triggers
- Time management and prioritisation skills
- Relaxation techniques and mindfulness
- Building long-term resilience
