- Low mood and depression
- Panic
- Social anxiety
- Health anxiety

CBT for Adults
Therapy for adults focuses on understanding your current difficulties, identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and developing tools to help you move forward.
Sessions are structured, goal‑focused and paced to suit your needs. Many adults find CBT helpful for managing anxiety, low mood, work‑related stress, relationship challenges, and the impact of neurodivergence on daily life.
CBT for Young People
CBT for young people is adapted to be engaging, collaborative and developmentally appropriate.
This may include visual tools, worksheets, creative methods, or practical exercises that help young people understand their emotions and build confidence in managing them.
Areas commonly supported include:
- Anxiety and worry
- School‑related stress
- Low mood
- Social confidence
- Emotional regulation
- Impact of Autism or ADHD on daily life
Parents or caregivers are often involved in a supportive way to help young people use their skills outside of sessions.
Family‑Focused CBT
Family‑focused CBT helps families understand patterns of communication, behaviour and emotional responses that may be contributing to difficulties.
Sessions aim to improve understanding, strengthen relationships, and develop shared strategies for managing challenges.
This approach can be particularly helpful when:
- A young person is struggling with anxiety or low mood
- There are communication difficulties at home
- Neurodivergence affects family routines or expectations
- Parents want to support their child’s therapeutic progress
Neurodiversity‑Affirming Therapy (Autism & ADHD
I specialise in adapting CBT for autistic and ADHD individuals of all ages.
This includes adjusting communication style, pacing, sensory considerations, and the structure of sessions to ensure therapy feels accessible, respectful and effective.
Adaptations may include:

- Clear, predictable session structure
- Sensory‑aware approaches
