THERAPY APPROACHES

Evidence-based therapy, without the jargon.

I offer a handful of approaches, all grounded in research and NICE guidance. Which one we use, and how, depends on what's actually going on for you and what you need.

CORE FOUNDATION

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. When you're stuck in patterns that grew out of trauma; avoidance, hyper-vigilance, distorted self-belief, it gives you practical, structured tools to notice what's happening and respond differently.

My CBT practice is trauma-focused where needed, integrating Trauma-Focused CBT protocols alongside broader cognitive and behavioural work.

TRAUMA PROCESSING

Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is one of the most effective NICE-recommended treatments for PTSD. It helps your brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity, often without needing to talk through every detail. It's powerful, evidence-based, and often quicker than people expect.

I've been practising EMDR for over 13 years and have used it extensively with complex presentations, including CPTSD, childhood trauma, and sexual abuse.

VALUES-LED LIVING

Acceptance & Commitment
Therapy (ACT)

ACT takes a different angle. Rather than fighting difficult thoughts and memories, it helps you change your relationship with them, so they lose their power to control your behaviour. The goal isn't to stop the pain, but to build a life that matters in spite of it. For trauma survivors, this is often transformative.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy combines CBT skills with mindfulness practice, helping you notice your thoughts without being swept away by them. It builds a steadier, more grounded relationship with your inner world. Particularly helpful for people with recurring depression, high anxiety, or a very busy, self-critical mind.
