CBT Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT is an evidence-based approach that looks at the connection between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and how these can influence the way we experience ourselves and the world around us. We are all shaped by our past experiences, and understanding these can help us make sense of how we feel and respond today.
My approach sees you as a whole person — with your own experiences, relationships, strengths and challenges. Together, we can make sense of the difficulties you are experiencing, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and identify what you would like to be different. We then work at your pace towards meaningful goals, developing the understanding, skills and confidence to manage life's challenges and move towards the life you want.

What to expect
Sessions are 50 minutes and held either in person in Buchlyvie (Stirlingshire) or Stepps (Glasgow), or online via video call — whichever works best for you. We'll start by exploring what's brought you to therapy and what you'd like to change. From there, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
The number of sessions varies from person to person, and we'll review progress together as we go.
