Therapy Services

Individual therapy for generalised anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and depression. Whether you are struggling with constant worry, avoiding situations that once felt manageable, or finding it hard to get through the day, therapy can help you understand what is happening and begin to feel more like yourself again.

I use an integrative approach that combines cognitive behavioural techniques with person-centred therapy and mindfulness. This means we work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns while also exploring the deeper feelings and experiences that may be keeping you stuck. Sessions are warm, non-judgemental and entirely at your pace.

• Evidence-based CBT and integrative techniques
• Personalised coping strategies
• Both short-term and longer-term options
• Safe space to explore underlying causes
• Tools you can use between sessions

For couples experiencing communication difficulties, recurring conflict, trust issues or navigating a significant life transition together. Whether you are dealing with the aftermath of an affair, struggling to connect after becoming parents, or simply feel like you have grown apart, couples therapy provides a structured and supportive space to work through things together.

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which is grounded in attachment theory and has a strong evidence base for helping couples reconnect. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, EFT helps you both understand the patterns that keep you stuck and find new ways to communicate your needs and feelings to one another.

• Improve communication and understanding
• Rebuild trust and emotional connection
• Navigate conflict constructively
• Process difficult life transitions together
• Create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a highly effective therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, distressing childhood experiences and single-incident trauma such as accidents or assaults. If you find yourself troubled by intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares or a persistent sense of being on edge, EMDR can help your brain process these experiences so they no longer hold the same power.

As an accredited EMDR practitioner, I follow the structured eight-phase protocol recommended by NICE guidelines. One of the advantages of EMDR is that you do not need to talk about your trauma in detail for it to work. The therapy uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories naturally, reducing their emotional intensity over time.

• EMDR accredited practitioner
• Process traumatic memories safely
• Reduce flashbacks, nightmares and hypervigilance
• No need to describe trauma in detail
• Structured 8-phase treatment protocol

Grief takes many forms and there is no right or wrong way to experience it. I offer support for the loss of a loved one, miscarriage, the end of a relationship, redundancy or any significant life change that has left you feeling lost, overwhelmed or unable to move forward. Sometimes grief can feel complicated or stuck, and having a safe, confidential space to talk can make a real difference.

My approach is integrative and entirely led by you. There is no timeline on grief and I will never push you to feel something you are not ready to feel. Together we explore what your loss means to you, honour what you have been through, and gently find ways to carry your grief while rebuilding a life that feels meaningful. I also offer practical coping strategies to help you manage the hardest days.

• A safe space to grieve without judgement
• Help processing complicated grief
• Support through all types of loss
• No pressure, no timeline
• Practical coping strategies for daily life

All of my therapy services are available as secure, confidential online sessions via video call. Online therapy is ideal if you prefer the flexibility of working from home, have a busy schedule, live outside Harrogate, or simply feel more comfortable in your own environment. Research consistently shows that online therapy is just as effective as face-to-face for most people and most conditions.

All you need is a private space, a stable internet connection and a device with a camera. Sessions are conducted via an encrypted, GDPR-compliant video platform so your privacy is fully protected. I offer flexible scheduling including evening appointments, making it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments.
