How I work
I draw on several established approaches to help find the right fit for you.

Anxiety, depression, perfectionism and unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)
Emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal challenges and impulsive behaviours.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
Avoidance, anxiety, psychological flexibility and values-led decisions.
Psychodynamic therapy
Attachment, identity, recurring patterns and longstanding emotional difficulties.
Jungian-informed therapy
Meaning, self-understanding and significant life transitions.
Trauma-informed and relational therapy
Emotional safety, relationships and responses to difficult experiences.
EMDR
A structured therapy for processing distressing memories.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
An approach centred on emotional bonds, often used with couples.
Couples and family therapy
