Psychologist in Harlow

I use evidence-based therapy approaches adapted to each individual. This allows the work to respond to what you bring into sessions and what feels most helpful for you.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT helps recognise patterns in thinking and behaviour and offers practical ways torespond differently to challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR supports the processing of traumatic experiences so they are less emotionally overwhelming in daily life.

EMDR Intensives: These concentrated sessions provide longer or more frequent EMDR therapy over a shorter period, suitable for those wanting focused trauma work.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages flexibility in thoughts and behaviour, helping you approach difficult feelings differently and take meaningful action in line with your values.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT): CFT supports those who experience self-criticism or shame, encouraging a kinder and more balanced way of relating to yourself.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: IFS helps explore the different parts of your inner self, allowing you to understand internal conflicts and work towards greater internal harmony.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT): IPT focuses on the connection between relationships and emotional wellbeing. It can help with grief, life transitions, conflicts with others, and social difficulties. Recognised by NICE for treating depression, IPT is also suitable for anxiety and trauma-related challenges.
