Through CBT, EMDR, Compassion-Focused and somatic approaches, you’ll gain the tools to understand what’s driving your burnout, process what’s been holding you back, and move forward feeling more like yourself.
Therapy is tailored to your needs, goals, and pace
Everyone has their own history, has developed their own patterns and coping, and has their own version of what feeling better actually looks like.
There’s no pressure to have it all figured out in the first call, we’ll work together to build an approach that makes sense for your life, your goals and at your pace.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on the idea that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are all connected. When we feel anxious or low, we often find ourselves in a vicious cycle and feel unable to break out of this and become stuck in negative patterns of thinking or behaving that can leave us feeling worse.
CBT helps us to understand how these patterns have developed and we learn how to break out of the negative cycle so that we can feel better. CBT is known as a ‘doing’ therapy and involves trying out new skills and techniques between sessions. We will work together to figure out the best steps forward for you.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a therapy that helps people to recover from difficulties that have been caused by traumatic events in their lives.
EMDR theory suggests that memories are not properly processed following a trauma and therefore are easily triggered which then causes distress and difficult emotions.
EMDR helps the brain to properly store these memories so that they feel less distressing and therefore have less of an impact on a persons’ day to day life.

What to expect?
Step 1
We start with an informal conversation to explore what has brought you to therapy. This gentle first step gives you space to share what’s been happening in your world, along with your hopes, goals, and preferences, so we can begin to understand what you need and how I can best support you.
Step 2
Next, at an initial assessment, we’ll gently explore the experiences that shape how you’re feeling today. We can discuss recent events, past memories, or other factors affecting your mood and wellbeing. We’ll begin to make sense of what’s going on for you and from there, we’ll develop a therapy plan that feels right for you and supports the changes you want to make.
Step 3
Once we’ve completed your assessment (usually 1–2 sessions) and agreed on a treatment plan, we’ll begin regular therapy sessions. We’ll check in on your progress along the way and adjust the plan as needed so the work continues to support your goals.
Step 4
As therapy comes to a close, we’ll reflect on your growth and the tools that supported it. Together, we’ll create a blueprint that captures your key strategies and insights - think of it like a guide you can return to whenever you need grounding or support.
