Stand Up To Anxiety

Counselling and CBT therapy for anxiety

Therapy Services (UK & Ireland)

I offer a range of evidence-based and supportive therapy services tailored to individual needs. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, identity-related issues, or compulsive sexual behaviours, therapy can provide a safe and confidential space to explore what is going on and move towards change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a highly effective approach that helps people learn practical ways of managing problems by changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. It is particularly useful for anxiety, depression, OCD, panic attacks, social anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, worry problems, and many other issues. CBT is usually focused, structured, and goal-oriented, helping individuals develop tools and strategies they can use in everyday life.

Counselling & Psychotherapy

Counselling and Psychotherapy support individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and confidential space. Through professional guidance, it aims to foster personal growth, improve mental wellbeing, and enhance decision-making skills, enabling people to make positive changes in their lives. This approach can be helpful for a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including stress, grief, relationship issues, low mood, identity questions, and life transitions.

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a groundbreaking treatment used in the NHS and by independent therapists to help individuals overcome the distress associated with traumatic memories, anxiety issues, and mood difficulties. EMDR can be done in-person or online. It is often used where past experiences continue to feel emotionally overwhelming or stuck, and can help the brain process these memories in a way that reduces their ongoing impact.

Relationship Counselling

Relationship Counselling provides a safe space for individuals and couples (of all genders, sexualities, and relationship configurations) to work through issues that may arise at any stage within a relationship, including conflict, affairs, communication challenges, trust issues, or just wanting to strengthen a relationship. Therapy can support deeper understanding, healthier communication, and more fulfilling ways of relating, whether you are attending alone or together.

GSRD Therapy

Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) Therapy offers an affirming, non-judgemental space for people whose identities, relationships, or experiences may sit outside traditional norms. This may include LGBTQ+ individuals, people who are exploring their identity, those in consensually non-monogamous relationships, kink-aware clients, and anyone seeking therapy that is inclusive and knowledgeable about diverse ways of living and relating. GSRD Therapy supports clients with issues such as identity, relationships, discrimination, shame, self-acceptance, mental health, and navigating life in a way that feels authentic.

Therapy for Sexual Issues

Therapy offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to talk openly about concerns related to sex and intimacy. This may include compulsive sexual behaviours (such as problematic porn use, so-called ‘sex addiction’), shame, sexual confidence, desire, sexual difficulties, or the impact of past experiences. Therapy can help you better understand these issues, reduce distress, and build a healthier relationship with your sexuality and emotional wellbeing.
