CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and behaviours are connected.

Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and explore practical tools that support real, lasting change. It’s a flexible, evidence‑based approach that can help with anxiety, low mood, stress, OCD, panic, sleep problems, and times of pressure or transition.

How It All Comes Together

​

Every person is different, so no two therapy plans look the same. Some sessions focus on understanding patterns, while others are more practical or skills‑based. My aim is always to help you feel more grounded, more equipped, and more in control of your wellbeing, both during therapy and long after it ends.

SCREENING
(non diagnostic)

Alongside therapy, I also offer pre assessment screening questionnaires for difficulties such as OCD, ADHD, and other neurodivergent or mental‑health concerns. These screenings are not a diagnosis, but they can:

  • ​Help you understand whether your experiences align with common patterns

  • Offer clarity when you’re unsure what you’re dealing with

  • Support you in deciding whether to seek a full assessment

  • Provide helpful information to share with your GP or a specialist​​

longside therapy, I offer a range of evidence‑based screening questionnaires to help you understand whether your experiences align with common patterns seen in certain mental‑health or neurodivergent conditions. These screenings are not a diagnosis, but they can help you understand whether your experiences fit common patterns seen in these conditions. They can offer clarity, highlight areas that may benefit from support, and help you decide whether a full assessment or specialist referral might be useful. Screenings can also guide our work together by showing where CBT may be most supportiveThese can support you in understanding your symptoms and, if needed, guide you toward appropriate next steps.
