How Therapy Works

Treatments

I use a versatile therapeutic approach to treat a wide range of mental health conditions. Here are some common mental health conditions and issues for which therapy is often utilised:

Anger Management: Therapy helps individuals systematically identify anger triggers, recognize destructive thought patterns, and develop comprehensive strategies for expressing and managing emotional responses more effectively.

Anxiety Disorders: Therapy effectively addresses various anxiety disorders by comprehensively challenging irrational beliefs, teaching targeted relaxation techniques, and implementing strategic exposure strategies to reduce anxiety symptoms.

Depression: Therapy assists individuals with depression by systematically challenging negative thought patterns, identifying specific cognitive distortions, and developing practical, evidence-based coping strategies to improve overall psychological well-being.

Eating Disorders: Therapy targets disordered eating behaviors by comprehensively addressing underlying cognitive distortions, improving body image perceptions, and helping individuals develop healthier relationships with food and personal weight management.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), helps individuals manage OCD by gradually exposing them to triggers while preventing compulsive behavioral responses.

Low Self-Esteem: Therapy helps individuals systematically challenge and reframe negative self-perceptions, develop more realistic and compassionate self-evaluations, and build targeted psychological strategies to enhance personal confidence.

Phobias: Therapy, helps individuals methodically confront and gradually desensitize themselves to feared objects or situations, teaching effective anxiety management and reduction techniques.

Panic Disorder: Therapy assists individuals in comprehensively understanding and managing panic attacks by addressing catastrophic thinking patterns and developing strategic coping mechanisms to reduce symptom intensity.

Stress Management: Therapy provides targeted techniques for effectively managing stress, enhancing personal resilience, and developing strategic coping mechanisms to navigate complex work and life challenges.
