01
Make sense of what's happening
We map the thoughts, feelings, body sensations and behaviours that keep a difficulty going, so the pattern stops feeling random.
CBT explained
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based talking therapy. It looks at how our thoughts, feelings, body and behaviour all loop into each other, and gently helps you change the parts of that loop that are keeping you stuck.
It isn't about positive thinking, and it isn't a stack of worksheets. Done well, CBT is warm, collaborative and curious. We work together to understand what's happening, test what's true, and build skills that hold up in your real life.
In my practice, CBT sits alongside person-centred, psychodynamic and attachment-informed work. Some people come for a focused piece of CBT over several sessions. Others weave it into longer therapy. More on how I work →

Try small, practical experiments
We test the beliefs that fuel the pattern, gently, with curiosity. Not positive thinking. Real-world evidence.
03
Build skills you keep
You leave with tools that work in your own life, not worksheets that live in a drawer.
