Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps address mental health challenges by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with healthier patterns. Whether through online and in-person CBT psychotherapy, this approach adapts to your needs with structured goals, practical tools, and personalized guidance. Rooted in culturally sensitive care, CBT empowers you to create meaningful, lasting change.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy

The Neurodiversity-Affirming therapy, is a supportive step for adults exploring experiences with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and other cognitive variations. Focusing on neurodivergent strengths, it offers practical strategies for sensory needs, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. Available through online and in-person CBT psychotherapy, this therapy also supports workplace challenges, equipping you with tools for self-advocacy, managing stress, and thriving authentically in your career and personal life.

Parenting counselling

Parenting Counseling integrates Neuropsychology and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to provide evidence-based strategies and personalized support. These sessions help parents develop assertive strategies that foster mutual respect and address their children’s developmental needs. By offering practical tools and stress management techniques, parents can establish positive family routines, enhancing overall well-being and resilience.

CBT Clinical Supervision

I offer individual clinical supervision for qualified psychologists and psychotherapists practising Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Supervision provides a supportive space to reflect on clinical practice, discuss case conceptualisation and treatment planning, and strengthen therapeutic skills.

My approach is evidence-based, culturally sensitive and neuroaffirmative, supporting ethical practice, professional development and clinical confidence.
