I am passionate about delivering evidence-based interventions for mental health problems affecting individuals of all ages. 

 

I use cognitive-behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure therapy, attachment based family systems therapy and mindfulness based cognitive therapy. ​I regularly practice meditation and where appropriate recommend it as an integrated strategy (as part of a broader treatment approach) to help individuals manage problematic stress, anxiety and depression - usually in adults.

​

I seek to help individuals with following conditions, but I also use a transdiagnostic approach (meaning I am most interested in understanding what is not working for you or your child, and less interested in diagnostic labels).

​

- Major depressive episode (i.e. depression)

- Generalised anxiety disorder (i.e. chronic worry)

- Social anxiety or social phobia 

- Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

- Obsessive-compulsive disorder

- Stress disorders (i.e. acute stress from work or relationship breakdown)

- Adjustment disorders (i.e. emotional changes such as depression following significant negative events)

- Eating and relate disorders

- Body dysmorphia

- Skin picking and relate disorders (e.g., trichotillomania)

- Panic disorder

- Specific phobias (e.g., spider or fear of the dark)

- Separation anxiety disorder

- Dysthymia (i.e. chronic feelings of low mood and motivation which can tip over into depressive episodes)
