My Therapeutic Approach
I combine two complementary approaches:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT):
We work with the thinking patterns, beliefs, and behaviours that maintain stress and anxiety, developing evidence-based strategies for change.
Somatic Awareness (Alexander Technique):
We address how stress manifests physically – tension patterns, breathing, posture, and bodily habits that can reinforce anxiety.
This integrated approach means we can work with the complete picture of how stress affects you, both mentally and physically.
What to Expect in Sessions
Sessions last 50 minutes and take place at my practice, just a 7-minute walk from Maida Vale Underground. We start with an initial consultation to explore your goals and ensure my approach is a good fit.
