Therapy

PE_600.jpg

I provide trauma-informed counselling and psychotherapy for teenagers and adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, trauma, and complex life experiences. Therapy is collaborative and tailored, with approaches selected thoughtfully rather than applied as a fixed model.

Therapy may be short-term and skills-focused, longer-term and exploratory, or a combination over time, depending on goals and needs.

​

Therapeutic approaches used in therapy

​

Psycho-education and motivational interviewing
Psycho-education focuses on understanding symptoms, patterns, and responses in ways that support insight, self-compassion, and informed choice. Motivational interviewing may be used to explore ambivalence and support change at a pace that feels manageable.
Is this right for you?
This can be helpful if you want to better understand what is happening for you, make sense of recurring patterns, or explore change without pressure or judgement.

Skills-based interventions
Skills-based work focuses on strengthening practical tools to support emotional regulation, communication, and everyday functioning. This may include problem-solving, stress and anger management, social and communication skills, and parent management strategies.
Is this right for you?
This may be helpful if you want practical strategies you can apply in daily life to manage specific challenges.

Interpersonal therapy
Interpersonal therapy focuses on relationships, life transitions, and social contexts, and how these influence emotional wellbeing. It is often used where depression, grief, or relational difficulties are central.
Is this right for you?
This may be helpful if your distress is closely linked to relationships, role changes, or unresolved interpersonal difficulties.

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviours. Work may involve identifying unhelpful patterns and developing alternative ways of responding to distress, including behavioural strategies, cognitive interventions, and regulation skills.
Is this right for you?
This may suit you if you are looking for structured, skills-based support to manage anxiety, low mood, avoidance, or unhelpful thinking patterns.

​

​

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a structured therapy used to support the processing of distressing or traumatic experiences that continue to impact the present. EMDR is introduced within a broader trauma-informed framework, with attention to safety, stabilisation, and readiness.
Is this right for you?
EMDR may be helpful if trauma responses feel “stuck” despite insight or coping strategies. EMDR is always discussed collaboratively, and there is no expectation it will be used unless it feels appropriate and safe.
