At McKenzie Therapies, we offer specialist therapies for anxiety and trauma. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Counselling, and EMDR. Our goal is to provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, supporting you on your journey to health and wellbeing.
Life can be painful, confusing, and challenging at times. As an experienced and qualified CBT therapist, counsellor, and complementary therapist, I am passionate about helping others. It is a privilege to be part of someone’s recovery and to listen to their unique story. I hold space for you to explore the issues in your life, helping you find clarity and hope and help you achieve your goals.
We utilize a Pluralistic approach, incorporating various techniques to suit each individual’s needs. This client-focused method allows us to work together on your goals, whether you require short-term or long-term therapy. Our approach includes use of Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Areas of Expertise
CBT, Counselling and EMDR can assist with a range of issues including:
Holistic Healing
We believe in treating the person as a whole - mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic approach gently guides you on the road to recovery, helping you help yourself. Therapy can encourage self-development, self-awareness, self-love, self-esteem, and compassion.
Get in Touch
When you feel anxious, depressed, confused, angry, ashamed, or overwhelmed, counselling can help. Let us support you in finding peace and a sense of calm.

I believe in the power of healing. We can recover from the darkest traumas, heal from heartbreak, and achieve our dreams. We can find peace and self-love, set goals, and create a better life. Together, we can look to the future with hope and change unhelpful behaviours and thoughts.
I want therapy to remain as accessible as possible. Lower‑fee options, concessions, and a sliding scale can be considered depending on your circumstances. If this would be helpful for you, please feel free to email to discuss what might be manageable.
