Different approaches,
for different people.
My practice provides support for a range of common mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, relationship difficulties, anger, addiction, and navigating major life transitions or a loss of direction. Alongside these general areas of care, I have a particular interest in:
Men’s Mental Health & Wellbeing: Creating a private, accessible, and direct space to talk, unpack challenges, and build practical management strategies.
First-Episode & New Diagnoses: Guiding people through the initial adjustment to a new diagnosis or mental health concern with clarity and support.
Neurodivergent Care & Support: Helping people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) develop personalised strategies for day-to-day life.
In-Depth & Long-Term Therapy: Working collaboratively over time with clients who wish to engage in sustained, deeper self-exploration and insight-driven personal growth.
Because everyone brings unique values, beliefs, and goals to therapy, I do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ model. I draw upon and integrate a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, tailoring our work to fit your individual needs and what is most meaningful to you.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the most well-known, evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It’s particularly effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by helping you identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced perspectives. CBT is a practical, skills-based therapy that equips you with tools to handle everyday challenges and improve your emotional wellbeing.
The benefits can include:
learning techniques for immediate relief while gaining long-term skills to manage future challenges
taking an active role in your therapy
learning to reframe negative thinking and change unhelpful behaviours
develop problem-solving and interpersonal skills
respond to triggers more calmly and productively.
CBT can be ideal for those looking for structured, goal-oriented therapy that leads to practical, lasting change. CBT is often recommended for people engaging with therapy for the first time.
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is another highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps you manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build resilience in stressful situations. Combining mindfulness, behavioural strategies, and acceptance, DBT teaches you to balance accepting things as they are without judgement while also making changes where needed. DBT can be particularly useful for people dealing with emotional dysregulation where they find themselves going from 0 to 100, engaging in self-destructive or self-sabotaging behaviours, or find it hard to maintain stable healthy relationships.
The key benefits of DBT can include:
learning how to regulate overwhelming emotions and consider alternative perspectives
developing mindfulness skills for awareness, stress reduction, and mental clarity
building healthier relationships through improved communication by assertively asking for what you want or need, saying ‘no’, and setting boundaries
gaining tools for managing emotional distress without spiralling, acting ineffectively or self-destructively
DBT is ideal for those seeking an understanding, non-blaming, skills-based approach to emotional and interpersonal challenges. I like to say that DBT can help you learn how to respond rather than react to different situations. DBT can be ideal for developing emotional stability and resilience for people who experience their emotions strongly and find it hard to change problem behaviours.

Schema Therapy and Schema Mode Therapy are an evidence-based, integrative approaches designed to help you address deeply ingrained patterns of thinking and behaviour that often develop early in life, usually due to unmet core emotional needs. By exploring and healing these core "schemas," lasting changes can be created in things like your automatic ways of thinking and behaving. Over time, this can improve self-esteem, confidence, and your ability to build healthier and more fulfilling relationships with other people and yourself. This therapy approach can be particularly helpful for those who have experienced abuse, trauma, neglect, or long-term emotional difficulties.
Key benefits of Schema Therapy can include:
understanding long-term patterns of why you think, feel, and act the way you do
gaining increased self-awareness about the unconscious patterns that influence your decisions and relationships
healing long-standing emotional wounds
breaking free from maladaptive schemas like Abandonment, Mistrust, Social Isolation, Self-Sacrificing, or Unrelenting Standards / Hypercriticalness (perfectionism)
learning healthier ways to meet your emotional needs, develop adaptive positive schemas, and foster greater self-compassion and acceptance
Schema Therapy can be ideal for individuals dealing with chronic emotional issues or those struggling with persistent, self-defeating patterns. Schema Therapy can offer long-term change by addressing the potential root causes of emotional difficulties and helping you build a stronger, healthier sense of self.

Narrative Therapy is a collaborative, evidence-based approach that sees life as a story. It explores how the personal narratives you’ve created shape your identity, beliefs, and behaviours. By examining these stories, we can work together to interpret these experiences in a way that better aligns with your values, goals, and the person you want to become. One of the core techniques of Narrative Therapy is externalising problems, which means we separate the issue from you as an individual. This empowers you to take control of your story, shifting your perspective and language, to open up new possibilities for change. The key benefits of Narrative Therapy can include:
increasing self-awareness and self-perception
learning tools to reduce limiting beliefs and shift from feeling stuck to seeing new possibilities for healing and growth
transforming a view of yourself and your future to something aligned with your goals
help to build a more empowering and resilient narrative
Narrative Therapy can be particularly helpful for processing grief, loss, or change, as it allows you to reframe painful experiences and potentially find meaning in them. Narrative Therapy can be ideal for those who want to take an active role in their own healing by re-writing a problem-saturated narrative and moving towards a more empowered and fulfilling future.
-
Psychodynamic Therapy is an in-depth, evidence-based approach that focuses on uncovering unconscious patterns and unresolved conflicts rooted in past experiences. This therapy explores how early life events, childhood experiences, and relationships have shaped your current thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. By gaining insight into these unconscious influences, Psychodynamic Therapy can help you understand the underlying drivers of your current struggles, providing a deeper understanding of yourself and your emotional world.
The key benefits of Psychodynamic Therapy can include:
enhanced self-awareness
improved emotional regulation
changing deep-seated behavioural patterns
Psychodynamic Therapy can be particularly beneficial for those experiencing ongoing relationship difficulties, unresolved trauma, or recurring emotional challenges that seem difficult to change. By exploring the root causes of these patterns, you can gain clarity and begin to address the emotional conflicts that have been unconsciously influencing your life.
Psychodynamic Therapy can be ideal for individuals who are ready to explore deeper, often hidden aspects of their psyche. It offers a longer-term approach to personal growth, to try to help you achieve a richer understanding of your emotional life and develop healthier, more nurturing relationships. If you are seeking to explore the unconscious factors shaping your behaviour or work through unresolved conflicts, Psychodynamic Therapy could provide the tools and insights necessary for meaningful change.
Whether you're wanting practical tools for managing stress, learning to be more grounded and mindful, developing skills to help with emotion regulation, or strategies for overcoming low mood and soothing anger, we can find a therapeutic approach for you.
