Life Inspired

Welcome to my practice, where we can embark on a journey towards healing, resolution, and personal growth. I am a psychological therapist with over 20 years of experience, and I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome their struggles and live fulfilling lives.

My Approach

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, tackling the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of well-being. I utilise evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to cultivate mindfulness, identify values, and take action in line with these values.
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to identify and change negative thoughts and behaviours.
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to manage emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal communication.
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process trauma and related emotional distress.
• Inner Space Techniques (IST) to cultivate self-awareness, emotional regulation, and spiritual growth.
• Somatic Psychotherapy to explore and release physical tension and emotional blockages.
