Who I Can Help

Depression

Are you struggling with feelings of sadness, low mood, hopelessness or helplessness? Are you experiencing problems sleeping, poor concentration and lacking energy or motivation? Have you become more socially withdrawn? Have these symptoms persisted more than a few weeks? If so, you may be suffering from depression and be looking for help manage. 

Anxiety

Are you feeling nervous, anxious or on edge? Do you find yourself worrying about different things? Are you experiencing panic attacks? If you have been experiencing these symptoms for more than two weeks you may be suffering from anxiety, stress or a specific anxiety issue.

People can experience different types of anxiety, for example :

  • Panic disorder
  • Agoraphobia
  • Social Anxiety
  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Trichotillomania
  • Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
  • Specific Phobia
  • Stress

Trauma

Have you experienced a specific, single event trauma such as a car accident? Or maybe you have experienced a traumatic bereavement? You may not consider your experience to have been a “trauma” or “traumatic” but have experienced distressing, upsetting events that still cause you difficulties.

I work with trauma using EMDR treatment but also offer Trauma Focused CBT (tf-CBT) if requested or preferred. There is a strong evidence base for the effectiveness of both treatments.
