How does it work?

I integrate several evidence-based therapy models into my practice. Whether used independently or combined, these approaches empower you to take charge of your challenges. They pave the way for changes that you drive and continue developing even after our sessions conclude. After an initial consultation we will decide together how to move forward. I use the following models of therapy

WHAT IS CAT?

Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) is a type of therapy that blends two powerful approaches: understanding how you think and act, and examining your relationships and patterns. It's like having a map that helps you navigate your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, while also exploring how your past experiences influence your present. CAT helps you notice unhelpful relational patterns and find new, more positive ways to approach challenges. It's a collaborative process where you work with your therapist to create personalised strategies that can lead to more fulfilling ways of living and relating to yourself and others. Think of it as a toolkit for understanding yourself better and making lasting positive changes in your life

WHAT IS EMDR?

EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy that helps people heal from distressing experiences. Imagine memories or feelings as puzzle pieces that sometimes get stuck or cause discomfort that we react to. EMDR is like a skilled guide helping you sort through those pieces, making them easier to understand and less upsetting. It involves focusing on distressing memories while the therapist helps you move your eyes or use other gentle, rhythmic movements called bilateral stimulation, which can reduce the power these memories have over you. It's like untangling knots in a gentle and supportive way, allowing you to feel more at ease and better able to move forward in your life

WHAT IS MBT?

Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) is like a guide to understanding your thoughts and feelings better. It's a supportive way to explore how you see yourself and others, helping you understand why you feel and act the way you do in different situations. Think of it as a journey where you learn to recognize and understand your emotions and thoughts more clearly, which can help improve how you relate to yourself and those around you. It's like shining a light on your inner world to build better connections and responses in your life
