How I work…
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. When we feel stuck in patterns of worry, low mood, or unhelpful behaviours, CBT offers tools to break these cycles and develop more balanced, supportive ways of thinking.
CBT is structured and collaborative. Together, we can identify the difficulties you’re experiencing, explore what might be maintaining them, and work towards meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. Sessions focus on building skills you can use in your everyday life, so the benefits extend far beyond the therapy room.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, CBT can help you make sense of your experiences and move towards lasting wellbeing.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialised, evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from difficult or distressing experiences. Sometimes past events can become “stuck” in the mind and body, continuing to affect how we think, feel, and respond in the present. EMDR helps the brain process these memories so they lose their emotional intensity and no longer feel as overwhelming.
In EMDR, we gently identify the experiences that may be contributing to your current difficulties. Using bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, tapping, or sounds—we support the brain’s natural ability to reprocess these memories in a safe and structured way. You remain in control throughout the process, and we work at a pace that feels manageable for you.
EMDR can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem, and other challenges linked to past experiences. Many people find it effective even when other forms of therapy haven’t brought the changes they were hoping for.
I can also incorporate:
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) - Compassion-Focused Therapy helps people develop a kinder, more understanding relationship with themselves. It is designed for those who struggle with self-criticism, shame, or difficult emotions. CFT combines psychology, mindfulness, and compassion-based practices to strengthen your ability to soothe and support yourself, especially during challenging moments. The goal is to help you feel safer, more balanced, and more confident in managing your emotions.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you develop a healthier relationship with your thoughts and emotions so they have less power over your choices. Instead of trying to eliminate difficult feelings, ACT supports you in making space for them while focusing on what truly matters to you. Through mindfulness, acceptance skills, and values-based action, ACT helps you move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life—even in the presence of challenges.
Chair work - Chair work is a therapeutic technique that uses different chairs to represent various parts of yourself, perspectives, or people involved in a situation. By moving between these chairs, you can explore emotions, express thoughts that may feel stuck, and gain new insights into internal conflicts or difficult experiences. It’s an active, experiential approach that can help you understand yourself more deeply and support meaningful emotional change.
I can provide both virtual and face to face appointments. Virtual appointments will be facilitated over Google Meets. Face-to-face appointments are facilitated in Tunbridge Wells. Location provided at point of booking.
