Structured CBT for Anxiety, Low Mood, Trauma, and Overwhelm

I work with adults, children, and young people experiencing:

• Anxiety, panic and phobias 
• Low mood and depression 
• OCD and intrusive thoughts 
• PTSD and trauma-related difficulties 
• Health anxiety 
• Social anxiety 
• Low self-esteem 
• Grief and loss 
• Stress and overwhelm 
• Relationship difficulties

I also provide specialist SEND support in schools for children experiencing emotional regulation and behavioural difficulties. 

Therapy is not about endlessly talking through problems. It is about understanding what is keeping them going, and beginning to respond differently. 

Most people come feeling mentally overloaded, caught in loops of overthinking, avoidance, or self-criticism that feel hard to interrupt. 

Together, we'll work to break the cycles that keep them in place.

CBT is structured, practical, and focused on change. We will:

• understand the patterns keeping you stuck 
• identify triggers and responses 
• build practical strategies you can use day-to-day 
• work at a pace that feels manageable

Alongside CBT, I may integrate ACT or CFT where helpful, depending on what supports change most effectively.

The aim is not just to understand what is happening, but to reduce the sense of being stuck in patterns that feel automatic or hard to control. 

People often say they have:

• a quieter mind and less mental noise 
• more control over anxious or looping thoughts 
• reduced avoidance and more confidence in daily life 
• a clearer sense of how to respond rather than react

Change tends to build gradually at first, then becomes clearer in everyday situations.
