CBT &Counselling  Services

Discover how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Counselling & Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness based CT can help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. From a non-judgmental environment to offering online sessions to better support your needs, counselling with myself focuses on you and your individual requirements. Every client is unique and I won’t treat you with a ‘one size fits all’ approach. 

What to expect

It’s natural to be apprehensive and I will try to put you at ease. The first session will give us a chance to meet and explore what brings you to counselling in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Together, we will discuss what you would like to achieve from counselling and how we can work to make this a realistic goal. 

Online therapy

Online therapy provides an accessible and convenient mode of therapy. All you need is an internet connection! This mode of therapy also helps to reduce any unnecessary hassle for yourself as you don’t have to allow the time and additional cost of travel. It’s all accessible from your very own home or wherever you would like to be during our sessions, ensuring you can relax in your own environment. This is also to help ensure privacy for clients. As I understand how important this aspect can be for many clients, I ensure our sessions stay safe and confidential.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. CBT is based on the idea that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a vicious cycle.


CBT focuses on the thoughts, images, beliefs, and attitudes that we hold, the personal meaning we associate with these, and how this relates to our behaviour. Working together using CBT, we can help you learn more useful ways of thinking and coping with past events and life moving forward. This includes those problems you find overwhelming.

As part of therapy, you can learn healthier ways of coping with difficulties. It even encourages healthier behaviours because one of the main goals of therapy is the promotion of psychological well-being, both individually and in relationship with others. This is achieved through self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion that we can work on together.


Part of this is figuring out how to change negative patterns in practical ways you can use every day. From improving the way you feel to your daily state of mind, I will support you throughout the process of creating positive and lasting change.

Counselling & Psychotherapy

Experiencing personal issues, emotional pain, or an emotional crisis from something that may have happened in your life? Therapy provides a confidential and safe place to explore any of these challenging personal issues with expert support. My personal approach to therapy is focused on providing you a non-judgemental space where you can feel understood and supported as an individual, not just as another client.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a type of psychotherapy that involves a combination of cognitive therapy, meditation, and the cultivation of a present-oriented, non-judgmental attitude called "mindfulness.”


By learning to be mindful, you will learn how to observe your thoughts and belief patterns without judgement. Together, we can help you learn how to observe rather than engage with ways of thinking and being that may not serve your best interests. With dedicated support, you will even learn how to let go of self-criticism and develop a more compassionate internal dialogue, becoming more ‘non-judgemental’ towards yourself or your experiences.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy builds upon the principles of cognitive therapy by using techniques such as mindfulness meditation, teaching people to consciously pay attention to their thoughts and feelings without placing any judgments upon them. There are several mindfulness techniques and exercises that are utilised as a part of MBCT and we will work out which ones will help you together.


What MCBT can help with:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Eating habits (struggling to eat healthy, overeating)
  • Depression associated with medical illnesses
  • Low mood
  • Unhappiness
  • Depression-relapse prevention
