In my approach to therapy, I prioritise a client-centred and holistic perspective, taking into account each individual’s unique circumstances, strengths, and needs. I believe in creating a safe, respectful, and non-judgemental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. Drawing on my training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centred Therapy, I adapt my approach to meet each client’s goals and challenges. I work collaboratively, involving clients in setting the direction of therapy and ensuring their values and preferences guide the process. I make use of evidence-based techniques such as cognitive restructuring, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and values-based action planning. These approaches are helpful in addressing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, emotional regulation, and patterns of avoidance or self-criticism. ACT, in particular, supports clients in building psychological flexibility and making choices that align with what matters most to them. I maintain open and honest communication throughout, and place great importance on building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual respect. I work ethically and sensitively, creating a space where clients feel safe to reflect, explore, and move forward at a pace that feels right for them.
