What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a way of being able to talk about how you think about yourself, the world and other people. Taking into account a person’s previous life experiences, we look at how someone's feelings are influenced by how they think and what they do.

​

In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, CBT is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented.

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an evidence-based practice helping people who are experiencing common mental health difficulties such as

​

• Stress/ Burnout

• Depression

• Self- esteem difficulties

• Anxiety-based problems such as:

​​

• General Anxiety/Worry

• Panic Attacks

• Social Anxiety/Shyness

• Health Anxiety

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

• Specific Phobias

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

​​

I also specialise in Perinatal Psychology, addressing mental health difficulties before and after birth

This could include:

• Anxiety/ low mood during pregnancy

• Postnatal anxiety or depression (in mother and/or father)

• Adjustment difficulties to having a new baby

• Fear of giving birth

• Traumatic birth experiences

• Miscarriage

• Relationship difficulties

I am passionate about helping parents at any stage of their journey to build confidence in their parenting and can consult on behaviour management for children.
