Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Psychodrama A group therapy that uses role-play and dramatization to process emotions. It helps clients gain perspective and release tension.
- Schema Therapy Identifies deep-rooted negative patterns formed in childhood. It combines CBT, attachment theory, and experiential methods for change.

My therapeutic approach is highly individualised and tailored to each person's unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I work collaboratively with clients to foster meaningful, sustainable change, helping them develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the patterns that may be contributing to ongoing difficulties.
My practice is grounded in extensive training in Schema Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I frequently work with individuals experiencing chronic depression, anxiety, personality disorders, addiction, and other longstanding emotional and behavioural challenges that may not have responded fully to more traditional approaches.
In addition to Schema Therapy and DBT, I integrate a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. I also utilise experiential techniques such as Chairwork and Gestalt-informed interventions, which can help clients access and work through deeply rooted emotional patterns, strengthen self-awareness, and create lasting change.
