About Me.
In my practice as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I specialize in helping patients, ranging from age six to adulthood, navigate the intricate world of their minds.
One of the CBT techniques I utilize is reframing. Picture this: imagine your thoughts as a painting. Sometimes, that painting can be a bit gloomy, with dark colors and stormy clouds. What I do is help you pick up the mental paintbrush and add some brighter hues to that canvas. We reframe those negative cognitions into more positive and realistic perspectives. It's like finding the silver lining in even the darkest of clouds. I believe strongly in the benefits of positive psychology. Incorporating positive thinking and gratitude practice empowers individuals to make good choices and strengthen relationships.
But reframing isn't the only tool in my therapeutic toolbox. I'm a big advocate for equipping my clients with coping skills. Life can be a rollercoaster, and sometimes, we need to find our own seat belts. I'll work with you to develop practical strategies that help you manage your mental health better. Whether it's mindfulness techniques or assertiveness training, we'll discover what works best for you.​

Faith Integration:
Incorporating faith into therapy can be a powerful and transformative experience for those seeking spiritual guidance and emotional support. I believe that integrating faith can provide a valuable framework for healing and personal growth, allowing individuals to draw strength, hope, and resilience from their spiritual beliefs as they navigate life's challenges. Together, we can explore how your faith can be a source of comfort and inspiration on your therapeutic journey. It's important to note that faith integration in therapy is always optional and entirely based on the client's preferences and comfort level.

Expats and Internationals:
​
I seek to serve a global community and believe the need for therapy translates across borders and continents. Having lived overseas extensively, I feel I have unique insight into the culture and lifestyle of those living in western Europe and the UK. I am a member of the BAPCP, which serves to assure the highest standards of counseling in the UK. For information about telehealth services, please email me at beachtherapy7409@gmail.com.
