Very distressing events can affect us emotionally and physically. Flashbacks, nightmares or persistent distress may follow.

I work with you to understand your response, identify triggers and develop coping strategies. I have experience in trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), recommended by NICE, including supporting people after accidents and medical trauma.

Depression can leave you feeling low, tearful, or irritable. It may affect your sleep, appetite, motivation and concentration. Experiencing loss can increase these challenges.

Through evidence-based therapy, we explore what may be contributing to your low mood and work on practical strategies and mindset shifts to improve your day-to-day life.

Panic attacks and phobias can feel physically overwhelming: fast heartbeat; shortness of breath; stomach upset; dizziness. They often lead to avoidance and increased worry about future attacks.

Together, we identify triggers, explore your responses and develop practical strategies to manage panic and reduce anxiety

Anxiety can involve persistent worries, repetitive thoughts, or tension that affect sleep, focus and daily functioning. Social anxiety may arise when you feel particularly worried or self-conscious around certain people or groups.

I help you understand what maintains these worries, challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies.

Chronic pain can impact your daily routines, relationships and sense of independence. It’s common to feel frustrated, anxious, or low at times.

I work with you to understand how pain affects your thoughts, emotions and behaviours and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms. Approaches may include stress management, pacing techniques, relaxation and coping strategies that help you regain a sense of control over your life.

Living with conditions such as diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or other long-term illnesses can create ongoing stress and uncertainty. These challenges often affect emotional wellbeing and day-to-day life.

Therapy can support adjustment, improve coping skills and help you maintain motivation and resilience. Together, we work on strategies to manage the psychological impact of living with a long-term condition while supporting your overall wellbeing.

Chronic health issues and pain can sometimes lead to anxiety, low mood, or social withdrawal. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times.

I provide evidence-based therapy tailored to your circumstances, helping you understand patterns of thinking and behaviour, reduce stress and strengthen coping skills. Sessions can be in-person or online, giving you flexibility and convenience.
