I'm a British therapist, licensed in California.
My aim is always to help my clients gain greater understanding of themselves and their relationships, in order to lead a happier, more fulfilling life.
First session
The first session is designed to be relaxed and easy. I want to get to know you a little better, and for you to get to know me a little better. We'll start to figure out what your priorities are in therapy and the best way to start tackling them.
Strengths

Ideal clients
My dream client is someone willing to work on their emotional and mental health, and be open to new ways of thinking.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This therapy has a cognitive component and a behavioral component. The cognitive component aims to help you recognize patterns in your thinking that are unhelpful, or produce a lot of unpleasant emotions - and create alternative ways of thinking that are more helpful. The behavioral component helps you to plan and execute strategies for dealing with difficult situations on your life, such as those that produce a lot of fear or dread.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
This is a form of radical positive thinking. Instead of looking directly at the problems in your life, It is a way of discovering what is already working, and seeking exceptions to problems in order to identify strategies for happier living by doing more of what works. I incorporate this technique to help clients see that there are always some glimmers of hope that can be built upon.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Practicing mindfulness means keeping focused in the here and now - tuning in to what our bodies and minds are telling us, and practicing accepting it without judgment. With this therapy, thinking becomes clearer and difficult realities become more easy to accept. I teach a variety of techniques to practice mindfulness and integrate it into daily life.
