About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with a Postgraduate SCQF Level 11 in CBT and over 10 years of experience in mental health. I am a Registered Member of the B.A.C.P. which includes the accredited register of the PSA.
With my previous history as a hypnotherapist and NLP Coach, I continue to draw on some of these techniques, now consciously integrated with a somatic therapy approach (including breathwork and colour work) within my CBT practice.
As a CBT Therapist and Counsellor, I use somatic techniques alongside evidence-based CBT tools, I facilitate you to calm your nervous system, reduce overwhelming emotions, and begin to challenge unhelpful patterns more effectively. This combination helps you to build resilience, improve self-awareness, and move towards lasting change in your mental and emotional wellbeing.
My first session
In our first session, I’ll spend some time helping you feel comfortable and explaining how therapy works. We’ll use a few short forms to guide our conversation and help you talk about what’s brought you to therapy and what you’d like to achieve. This also gives me a clearer picture of how best to support you.
Together we’ll explore your current difficulties, what’s been happening recently, and what’s most important for you right now. From there, we can agree a focus for our work and create a collaborative treatment plan that reflects your goals and preferences.
The first session is also a chance for you to ask any questions about how I work and to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me. There’s no obligation to continue if you decide it’s not the right fit.
