My Approach
My therapeutic approach
Understand together. Find new ways forward.
Cognitive behavioural therapy: respectful, transparent and connected to your everyday life.
What is cognitive behavioural therapy?
Thoughts, feelings and behaviour influence one another. In CBT, we explore these connections and consider which patterns may be keeping difficulties in place.
We pay attention to your current circumstances and to experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and others. Together, we develop ways of responding differently to unhelpful patterns.
My stance in therapy
Collaboration
You know your life best. Your wishes and feedback help shape our work.
Transparency
We discuss goals and possible next steps together. Questions and concerns are always welcome.
Your pace
Change needs room. We pay attention to what feels appropriate and manageable for you.
Our shared process
One step at a time.
First meeting
We get to know each other and talk about what is currently on your mind.
Understanding
We explore thoughts, feelings, relationships and recurring patterns.
Setting goals
We consider what you would like to change and what matters to you.
Making changes
We try out new perspectives and ways of responding in everyday life.
Reflecting
We discuss what is helpful and adjust our work together.
What happens between sessions.
Where it fits your concern, we may agree on small exercises or observations for everyday life. These can help you try out what we discuss in your own circumstances.
Together, we consider which steps were helpful and where adjustments are needed. The process remains responsive to your experiences and feedback.
Your first step
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
The initial consultation is a space to talk about what brings you here. Together, we can consider whether working together feels right for you.
