Do you need space to process a challenging time, struggle to cope with day to day life or simply wish to learn more about yourself? If so, therapy offers the opportunity to take a breath and explore exactly what it is what you need in order to be a happier, healthier you.

Molly offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore emotions and work through any difficulties you may be experiencing. Through integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory and Person-Centred Approach , sessions will be uniquely tailored to each individual clients' personal preferences and goals for therapy.

Whilst empathy and compassion remain at the heart of therapy, clients will be encouraged to build resilience to take back power in their own lives. We all have the innate power to heal, and therapy can be a great place to explore this.

As an Individual Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Molly works in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework to ensure clients' safety and wellbeing at all times.

Your progress, wellbeing, and general fulfilment in therapy are my top priorities. I'm here to assist you through a difficult period, help you explore identity and self-esteem issues, or help you find relief from the symptoms of depression or anxiety. I'll be there to guide you along the way with kindness, patience, and resilience. My commitment is to genuinely understand your perspective and provide you with compassionate support during the entire process. As I consider us as partners assisting you in achieving your goals, therapy is a collaborative experience. Together, we will explore your ambitions, challenges, and strengths in order to give you the tools you need to achieve significant life changes.

Seeking Support

Choosing a therapist is an incredibly personal decision that involves connection, empathy, and trust. In order to support you in overcoming obstacles in life and promoting personal development, provide a unique combination of compassion, experience, and evidence-based techniques to help with various mental and emotional issues. My therapeutic approach is based on a strong sense of sensitivity and understanding, and I work hard to provide a secure, accepting environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of being judged or rejected.

In therapy, I think the full person—mind, body, and spirit—should be taken into consideration. I take into account how several facets of your life interact and impact one another, even if we might concentrate on certain problems or difficulties. By adopting an integrated approach, we may identify underlying patterns, examine significant connections, and encourage long-lasting growth and development.

My commitment is to deliver a culturally appropriate treatment that respects and acknowledges your identity, history, and values. I work to provide a therapy setting that is inclusive and accepting of diversity in all its forms because I understand how important cultural elements are in forming our experiences and perspectives.

Integrative Practice

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT, a modality developed by Beck, examines how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are all linked; knowing the difference between our thoughts and feelings and how these effect how we act is critical to managing our mental health. As humans, it is easy to become trapped in a negative cycle, therefore, in therapy, we look at challenging unhelpful beliefs and exploring coping skills in order to empower clients' to reclaim control over their lives

Attachment Theory

Bowlby's Attachment Theory allows us to explore how our experiences with primary givers in childhood influences how we build and maintain relationships in our adult life. This thoroughly researched theory not only helps to clarify how unhelpful strategies for coping develop, but it also emphasises the need of developing a secure attachment within ourselves, aiming to increase our self-esteem and self-worth.

Person Centred Approach

Humans naturally desire to achieve their full potential, but Rogers' Person-Centred Approach recognises that this potential may be obstructed or distorted by certain life experiences, particularly those that change our sense of self-worth.

By recognising each client's individuality and innate strength, Molly uses compassion, empathy, and congruence to create a safe space for clients to discover how to become their best version of themselves.
