INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
I offer individual psychological therapy from my dedicated therapy room in Market Weighton, East Riding of Yorkshire, as well as online. My training and experience enable me to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Therapeutic Approaches
I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies to support you, including:
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a well-established approach that explores how our thoughts and behaviours influence our emotions and interactions. It focuses on the present while also considering patterns shaped by past experiences. CBT provides practical tools and strategies to help manage anxiety, depression, and related difficulties. It is recommended in many NICE guidelines for these conditions.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Originally developed to support individuals with emotional regulation challenges, high distress, and interpersonal difficulties, DBT teaches valuable skills that can benefit a wide range of concerns. While DBT is often delivered in group settings, I offer an integrated approach that incorporates its core skills—Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness—into our one-to-one work as needed.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
CFT helps address issues such as self-criticism, shame, and anger by offering an evolutionary perspective on how our brains respond to threat and distress. Through compassionate strategies and skills, CFT supports a more balanced and kind relationship with yourself and your emotions.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a powerful therapy designed to relieve psychological distress, especially related to trauma. It uses bilateral stimulation to help process difficult memories that may be contributing to current symptoms. EMDR can be effective for single traumatic events, ongoing relational trauma, or attachment-related difficulties. I am fully trained in EMDR and offer it as part of a tailored therapeutic plan.
Taking the First Step
Sometimes we don’t fully understand what’s causing our distress. Therapy offers a safe space to explore what’s going on and find a way forward. Whether you're struggling with specific issues or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help.
It’s not always easy to prioritise yourself or face difficult experiences—but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’d like to explore how therapy might support you, please get in touch to arrange an initial consultation.
