MY THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
What Types of Therapy Do I Offer?
I draw on approaches I’m trained in and choose them to fit you, not the other way round.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Noticing the thoughts that drive anxiety and low mood, and testing new ways to respond.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills
Handling intense emotions and getting through hard moments without making them worse.
Gottman Method
For couples, building friendship, managing conflict and repairing after arguments.
Schema Therapy
Understanding longstanding patterns that started early in life.
Motivational Interviewing
Getting clear on what you want to change and why.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
Focusing on what already works and building from there.
Faith Integrated Therapy
Bringing Islamic values into sessions, only if you want that.
FINDING THE RIGHT SUPPORT
How Do I Choose the Right Therapy Service?
Pick the area that feels most urgent, not the one that sounds most serious. Problems overlap: stress at work shows up at home, and a hard marriage affects sleep and mood. If two pages both sound like you, book the free consultation and we’ll sort out where to start.
