As a CBT therapist, I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based method that helps us explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we work to identify unhelpful thinking patterns that may be affecting your mood or keeping you stuck, and we gently challenge these thoughts to create healthier, more balanced perspectives.

Our sessions are a safe and supportive space where you can bring whatever you're experiencing—whether that's anxiety, low mood, stress, or simply feeling overwhelmed. I aim to meet you with empathy, curiosity, and without judgment. Each session offers the chance to reflect on your experiences, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools that support meaningful change.

A key part of CBT is putting you in the driver’s seat. We’ll work together to set goals and decide on the next steps based on what feels right for you. Whether you're looking for coping strategies, insight, or space to understand yourself better, we’ll move at your pace and adapt the work to suit your needs.

I often use short exercises, worksheets, or between-session reflections to help you apply what we talk about in everyday life. These small steps outside of sessions can lead to powerful shifts in how you think and feel over time.

Ultimately, my goal is to support you in building resilience, gaining clarity, and feeling more in control of your emotional wellbeing. Therapy is your space—and I’m here to walk alongside you as we navigate it together.

Our sessions together are a space for you to feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes at your own pace. I offer both weekly and biweekly sessions, depending on your needs, availability, and the pace that feels most helpful for you.

Therapy can be open-ended or time-limited. Some people choose to work together for a set number of sessions—often 6 or 8—to focus on specific goals. Others may prefer a more open, ongoing space to explore things in depth. We can decide this together based on what you’re hoping to get out of therapy.

In each session, we’ll collaborate on setting an agenda, exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a safe and non-judgmental environment. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn practical tools and strategies you can take into daily life.

Whether you're coming for short-term support or longer-term exploration, we’ll regularly check in on your progress and goals to make sure therapy continues to meet your needs. You're always at the centre of the process, and we’ll move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and begin exploring what brings you to therapy. We'll take time to talk about your reasons for seeking support and what you hope to gain from the process. To help us understand how things are for you right now, I’ll invite you to complete a short questionnaire that looks at your current mood and anxiety levels.

Each session will follow a collaborative structure. We’ll set an agenda together at the start, which helps us decide what to focus on and ensures your priorities are at the centre of our work. In the first session, I’ll guide you through how we do this so you feel comfortable and involved in the process.

I also like to begin each session with a brief check-in, giving you a moment to tune in to how you're feeling before we begin. We’ll finish with a short check-out as well, to reflect on the session and gently transition back into the rest of your day.

An important part of our first meeting will be looking at your goals for therapy. We'll think about what you'd like to get out of our time together and work towards setting one or two small, achievable goals. Therapy is a journey, and we’ll take it one step at a time, always working at a pace that feels right for you.

Before the session ends, we’ll make a simple plan for the week ahead—this might include something to reflect on, practice, or be curious about between sessions. This helps to keep the work going in small, manageable ways outside of our time together.
