Approach & Specialisms

My work is integrative and collaborative. I draw on CBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based approaches, alongside NLP and coaching techniques, to tailor support to your unique situation, pace, and goals.

Addiction & Recovery Support

Specialist support for drug and alcohol addiction, early recovery, relapse prevention, and building sustainable coping strategies.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Practical, evidence-based techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build healthier responses to depression, anxiety, and self-criticism.

Psychodynamic Therapy

A reflective space to explore past experiences, unconscious patterns, and the roots of emotional difficulty.

Mindfulness & Somatic Practice

Grounding techniques that reconnect mind and body, helping you manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm with greater ease.

NLP, Life & Performance Coaching

Goal-oriented coaching to improve assertiveness, overcome blocks, set meaningful goals, and create a more purposeful direction in life and work.
