Talking Therapy and Hypnotherapy
We are all different, so therapy should be tailored to suit our needs. I offer a range of talking therapies and hypnotherapy, many of which are not widely available on the NHS., such as CBT, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and Schema therapy.
Face to face appointments are available at my office in the centre of Burnley in East Lancashire, close to Junction 10 of the M65 and public transport If you don't live locally, or prefer not to visit a clinic, I offer online therapy via Zoom, Skype, Teams or Whatsapp.
Cognitive Behavioural Coaching
Cognitive Behavioral Coaching (CBC) is a goal-oriented, solution-focused coaching approach that combines principles from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with coaching techniques. The aim is to help individuals identify and overcome personal challenges by changing unproductive thought patterns, behaviors, and emotions.
In CBC, clients work with a coach to:
-
Identify negative or limiting thought patterns: These might be thoughts like “I’m not good enough” or “I’ll never succeed.”
-
Challenge and reframe these thoughts: Replacing them with more balanced, positive, or realistic perspectives.
-
Set achievable goals: Focusing on specific, actionable steps to reach personal or professional objectives.
-
Improve behaviors and coping strategies: Helping clients build habits and actions that align with their goals and promote success.
-
Enhance emotional regulation: Managing stress, anxiety, or self-doubt that might impede progress.
Unlike therapy, which often delves into past experiences to address mental health issues, CBC is more focused on present circumstances and future progress, making it especially useful for personal development, career growth, and overcoming specific life obstacles.
Court Ordered Therapy
Court ordered therapy typically happens when a judge directs that an individual attends therapy as part of a legal decision. I have experience of providing psychotherapy for adults in family court cases, either funded privately or via local authorities. I am a registered supplier with Lancashire County Council.

Critical Incident Debriefing
Critical incident debriefing is a structured process aimed at helping individuals cope with and process a traumatic or distressing event they've experienced.
The debriefing typically involves a facilitated discussion among those involved in the incident. It allows participants to share their experiences, emotions and reactions to the event in a supportive and confidential environment. The goal is to promote understanding, provide emotional support and help individuals process their feelings in the aftermath of the incident.
