I strongly believe in the importance of tailoring the support I offer to the person with whom I am working. Each therapy session is based on a shared understanding of what it is that is causing you difficulty (often referred to as a formulation).
In order to achieve a truly personalised therapy experience, I often work from an integrative approach. This means I draw upon a range of therapeutic models dependent upon which approach best fits with your experiences. All models and approaches are empirically based and I work to find the right balance between what is meaningful to you and what the research suggests may be beneficial in supporting you.
Approaches that I regularly use in my practice include:
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Mindfulness approaches
-
Systemic approaches
-
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
I am particularly interested and skilled in working with individuals with long-term health conditions and have experience working with the following conditions (not an exhaustive list):
-
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis
-
Coeliac disease
-
Myalgic Encephalomyelotis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
-
Metabolic conditions such as PKU
-
Food allergies and restricted eating
-
Gynecomastia
-
Brain injury including TBI and stroke, as well as other neurological conditions
-
Chronic pain
-
Non-epileptic seizures
-
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
-
Persistent physical symptoms - often referred to as “medically unexplained” or “functional” symptoms
I work with both adults and children with physical health concerns. The relationship between physical and mental health is something I feel passionately about and I strive to provide a service that recognises the emotional and psychological impact that managing a long-term health condition can have on daily life.
I am also particularly skilled in working with children and adolescents with mental health concerns, alongside their families.
