Problems I can help with
At SC-Therapies, I address a wide range of psychological issues:
Anxiety
Feeling afraid is very much part of the human experience and a survival instinct. The experience of anxiety is very similar to the experience of fear – the real difference is that anxiety occurs in the absence of real danger, only perceived or potential danger. Our task is for you to become an expert in identifying unhelpful thoughts that create disturbance, both physically and emotionally.
Assertiveness & Anger Management
I can help you understand the effects of not being assertive, how emotions and thoughts prevent assertive action, the effects of not being able to say no, handling and responding criticism and how to handle disappointment. Assertiveness is a skill that is not taught and so individuals typically navigate their way through life moving from being passive and/or being aggressive angry and frustrated. Being assertive is an important communication skill which can reduce depression and anxiety and improve self-esteem.
Low Self-Esteem
REBT helps clients move from a self-critical to a self-accepting stance, reprocess past traumas and understand their triggers to build a healthier self-image. I use CBT and philosophies from Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy to challenge deep seated, challenge core beliefs about oneself in order to develop a healthy self-image.
Mood Management
Depression and anxiety share common symptoms. I work on breaking down vicious cycles by addressing the deep-seated thoughts that perpetuate these conditions.
Trauma
Whether it's single-incident or complex trauma, I use evidence based psychological therapy to help process these traumatic events. My compassionate approach focuses on reprocessing trauma and healing wounds from the past.
Relationship problems
I offer support for navigating conflicts, overcoming challenges, and processing relationship loss. We identify triggers and work on emotions, commonly including hurt, anger, jealousy and envy. I can also see couples together if needed.
Personality Disorders
I help clients struggling with interpersonal relationships and mood disorders, including Bipolar Disorder. My psychological therapy approach includes developing emotion regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance skills.
Health Anxieties
Health-related anxieties can cause significant distress. I provide information about health anxiety, including how it develops, how it is maintained and how to manage excessive worries and concerns and unhelpful behaviours and such as the need for reassurance.
REBT for Students and Teens
I offer REBT, a holistic, evidence-based approach that helps students and teens manage emotional dysregulation, ADHD symptoms, and behavioural challenges. By focusing on building self-esteem and assertiveness, this therapy supports sustainable emotional regulation and reduces the risk of self-harm.
Perfectionism
Understanding perfectionism involves recognising the high standards we set for ourselves and others. I help clients understand the negative consequences and high costs of striving for perfection.
OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder involves unhelpful, unwanted, and intrusive thoughts. I help clients challenge these thoughts and recognise and interrupt the triggers that cause them.
