Cognitive behavioural therapy is an evidenced based approach. CBT helps us to understand the links between our thinking (the way we perceive and make sense of our experience, and things around us), our emotional reactions to these experiences and perceptions, and how we respond to them (our behaviours).

We can unintentionally develop unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns which keep us stuck. CBT aims to help us to understand what these patterns are, how experiences in your life may have shaped them, and explore new healthier patterns.

CBT can help with the following conditions:

I have a special interest in maternal mental health. The process of conception, pregnancy, birth, and post pregnancy can bring about times of joy, but also times of difficulty. This can be an isolating time and I believe having a safe space to talk through this is important in supporting you to move forwards. I have also completed additional training to adapt CBT treatment for people with long term health conditions such as Chronic pain, IBS, Diabetes. To keep my skills and knowledge up to date I attend annual CBT professional development events.
