Therapeutic Approaches

In practice, I rarely use just one approach as therapy works best when it's flexible and responsive to what you actually need. Below is an overview of the main approaches I draw on.

ACT is a modern, evidence-based therapy that helps people change their relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. The focus is on psychological flexibility and living in line with your values, even when life is hard.

What it helps with

Anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain; living meaningfully with ongoing challenges; building resilience

Duration

Can be short-term or longer-term; practical and experiential in style

One of the most widely researched forms of psychotherapy. CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It can help identify and shift unhelpful patterns that are keeping people stuck.

What it helps with

Anxiety, depression, phobias, panic, OCD, PTSD, sleep problems, low self-esteem

Duration

Typically 6–20 sessions, weekly or fortnightly

CFT was developed specifically for people who experience high levels of shame, self-criticism, or self-blame. Drawing on evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness, it helps build genuine compassion, for yourself as well as others.

What it helps with

Self-criticism, shame, trauma, depression, anxiety, eating difficulties, emotional regulation

Duration

Short- to medium-term; often integrated with other approaches

EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps people process and move beyond traumatic memories. Using guided bilateral stimulation, it works to reduce the emotional charge of difficult experiences — often achieving results where other approaches have stalled.

What it helps with

Trauma and PTSD; anxiety, depression, panic, grief; performance anxiety

Duration

Usually 6–12 sessions for single-incident trauma, longer for complex trauma

If you find strong emotions overwhelming, hard to control, or confusing — or if you tend to react in ways you later regret — emotion regulation skills work can help. These are structured, practical strategies for understanding and managing intense emotional experiences informed by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.

What it helps with

Reducing emotional reactivity; building resilience to stress and mood shifts; increasing clarity in difficult moments

Duration

Skills-based and structured; can be integrated into individual sessions or taught as a focused programme

This work begins from the position that neurodivergent ways of thinking and experiencing the world (including ADHD and autism) are not deficits to be fixed, but differences to be understood and worked with. Therapy offers a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your unique experience and what support looks like for you.

What it helps with

Understanding and embracing neurodivergent identity; reducing shame and self-criticism; navigating relationships, work, and everyday challenges

Duration

Flexible and collaborative; can be short-term or longer-term

Psychodynamic therapy explores how unconscious patterns, early experiences, and internal conflicts shape the way we feel and behave today. It’s particularly well-suited to difficulties that feel hard to shift including relationship patterns, emotional distress, and a sense of being stuck.

What it helps with

Long-standing or deep-seated challenges; interpersonal difficulties; recurring relational patterns

Duration

Typically weekly; flexible pace and length

Family life can be deeply rewarding and at times genuinely hard. When children or young people are struggling with emotions, behaviour, friendships, or school, it can affect the whole family. I offer a compassionate, collaborative space to explore these challenges together, with families actively involved throughout.

What it helps with

Emotional or behavioural difficulties in children; family stress and communication breakdowns; school, friendship, and transition challenges

Duration

Short-term or longer-term support
