What is Solution-Focused Psychotherapy?

Solution-Focused Psychotherapy is a modern, forward-thinking approach that focuses on what’s working in your life, not what’s broken. Instead of revisiting trauma, we explore your goals, strengths, and the small, manageable steps that lead you there.

 

Grounded in neuroscience, this method helps you:

 

  • Understand how your brain responds to stress
  • Build sustainable mindset shifts
  • Create a clear, positive vision for your future
  • Make realistic changes that support long-term wellbeing

 

Unlike traditional therapies, this process is collaborative and empowering, always focused on progress over problems.

I offer psychotherapy for a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and lifestyle challenges, including:

 

  • Anxiety & panic
  • Depression & low mood
  • Overwhelm & burnout
  • Grief & bereavement
  • Anger management
  • Confidence & self-esteem
  • Stress & coping strategies
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • IBS & psychosomatic symptoms
  • Stage fright or performance anxiety
  • Life transitions (career, family, relationships)
