I offer a range of therapeutic interventions. My training and particular interest is focused on Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) which is a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
REBT and CBT are borne from the philosophy that people are not disturbed by events but by the view they take of those events. In other words it is our beliefs about a situation rather than the situation itself that lead to us becoming stuck in unhealthy negative emotion such as anxiety, depression or anger.
I take clients through a process that helps them first to understand their unhealthy emotions, secondly to understand the irrational demands they are placing upon themselves and the beliefs that flow from those demands and then to help them change those beliefs by changing the way they think and behave.
The work is very much goal orientated. We work systematically through a problem, helping clients to build resilience and unconditional self-acceptance.
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy helps people change their negative thoughts to improve how they feel and act. It's about turning unhealthy beliefs into positive ones. This method of therapy is effective in managing emotional distress and promoting personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy teaches people to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and actions. It's a practical approach to solve problems and feel better. Through this method, individuals learn coping strategies that have lasting positive effects on mental health.
Wherever it is beneficial to do so, I will draw upon techniques from other therapy models.
Assertiveness Training empowers individuals to express themselves confidently and respectfully. It's about learning to say no, express needs, and handle conflicts effectively.
Compassion Focussed Therapy aids individuals in developing kindness and understanding towards themselves and others. It's especially beneficial for those struggling with self-criticism and shame.
Coaching is a useful way of developing skills and boosting performance or helping people make significant decisions in their work or their life more generally. The aim is to help people to deal with problems they are stuck on before they become major issues.
Counselling provides a supportive environment to discuss and explore feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. It helps individuals make positive changes in their lives.
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing involves recalling distressing events while receiving bilateral sensory input, like side-to-side eye movements. This method helps individuals heal from trauma, extreme anxiety and phobias.
This practice involves focusing the mind and being fully present in the moment. It's used to reduce stress, improve concentration, and promote overall well-being.
