My approach to taking care of mental health

As a one to one therapist in Wokingham, I offer specialist and private psychological therapy for individuals and couples, designed to support you. Through Thames Valley Care, I draw upon over 15 years' experience to provide effective, evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy, Mentalisation Based Therapy (MBT) and Mindfulness one to one therapy in Wokingham.

 Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a structured, goal-focused talking therapy that sits at the heart of my approach at Thames Valley Care in Wokingham. CBT works by helping you notice and challenge unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour that can cause emotional distress. Together, we identify goals, learn to recognise triggers, and put in place strategies that support positive change. You'll practise new skills both in and between sessions, allowing therapy to translate into real improvements in your day-to-day life. Individual CBT sessions are always personalised, and for younger clients, parents may be involved to support progress.

Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT)​

Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT) is another evidence-based approach offered at Thames Valley Care in Wokingham. If you find yourself struggling with strong emotions, challenging relationships, or making sense of others' behaviour, MBT helps by improving your ability to ‘mentalise', that is, to understand what you and others may be thinking or feeling. By building these reflective skills, MBT reduces confusion, eases emotional turmoil, and strengthens relationships with others. Throughout our individual therapy sessions, we will work together to increase self-awareness and guide you towards a calmer, more consistent way of experiencing the world.
