Therapies I Offer
I use a variety of approaches so that therapy is shaped around each individual rather than limited to one way of working. Below are the main approaches I offer:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps improve mental health by challenging negative thoughts and behaviours, and by developing strategies that support emotional regulation. It is often recommended for managing anxiety and depression.
Psychodynamic Counselling
Psychodynamic Counselling focuses on bringing the unconscious into awareness, drawing on psychoanalytic ideas. It looks at how past experiences influence the present, helping clients to understand, resolve, or manage difficulties by making hidden patterns more conscious.
Intercultural Psychotherapy
Intercultural Psychotherapy recognises the importance of culture, race, identity, and personal beliefs within the therapeutic relationship. It provides space to explore how these experiences shape emotional wellbeing, while also acknowledging the ongoing adversities that many BIPOC communities face today, such as systemic racism, sexism, economic inequality, and the challenges of displacement or refugee status.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is used when working with clients who have experienced life-threatening or disturbing events such as accidents, domestic violence, abuse, sudden loss, or the impact of COVID-19. The NICE guidelines recommend EMDR for people diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and those experiencing traumatic reactions such as panic attacks, hyper-vigilance, flashbacks, or insomnia.
Existential Therapy
Existential Therapy explores the big questions of life such as meaning, freedom, choice, and responsibility. It helps clients face uncertainty, loss, or isolation, and supports them in making choices that feel authentic and true to their values.
Person-Centred Counselling
Person-Centred Counselling creates a safe, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their feelings and experiences openly. With empathy, respect, and genuineness at the core, this approach encourages greater self-understanding, self-acceptance, and personal growth.
