Here’s how CBT works

Understand your Brain

Why do you overthink and overanalyze? Where can you find your feelings? Why do you get stuck in fight/flight modes? Why do you lose focus and motivation? How can you calm a restless brain? Why do you get lost in relationships that don’t work for you? Why can’t you let some feelings go?

Change Your Brain

How can you change your thoughts, feelings and behaviours? Learn techniques such as breathing, visualisations, new ways of thinking and feeling, thought records, changing unconscious beliefs, acceptance techniques, exposure therapy, and mindfulness. Do you know what to do with negative thinking and feelings that take you down?

Testimonials

  • "Sharyn is a very gifted and kind therapist who takes an immediate interest in you as a whole, she takes you through the process at a rate you are comfortable with and keeping checking in to make sure you are getting a sense of how the process is working for you. I did not feel scrutinised nor evaluated in any way that was not gentle or holistic at any stage of my session and I would be very pleased to continue with her as a therapist ." M.B., Auckland, NZ

  • “Dr Sharyn makes you feel at ease from the very first session. I felt I could talk to her like a close friend, free of judgement. The way that she explained cognitive theory was jargon free, entertaining and memorable. I thoroughly enjoyed the session as well as finding them beyond helpful. Thank you!” M.M., Abu Dhabi UAE

  • “Very warming and comforting atmosphere where you feel safe and able to fully express yourself. You made me feel more optimistic and in control of my life and gave me skills that will help me in many areas of my life, now and in the future. I feel I am better equipped to stay strong throughout the stormy weather:)". A.S., Abu Dhabi UAE

FAQ

  • Even if you don’t feel like it right now, the chances are that you can feel like your happy self again. But this will only happen if you take the first (and most difficult) step to start your therapy. Therapy will help you understand and cope with your negative thoughts and feelings and will offer you a new, unbiased perspective and effective tools that you can use to feel better every day.

  • We don’t take insurance but can provide receipts so that you can claim the costs on your insurance later. If you aren’t sure whether your insurance will cover such claims, please double-check with them before your first session with us.

  • Yes, we do. Many clients prefer to use Zoom for sessions because it’s more convenient and saves travel time.

  • The number of sessions you’d need to see positive changes in your life depends on your specific situation. Here’s what we know from our experience: One to two sessions are enough to solve a small problem, for example, learning brain-based tips and strategies to manage anxious brains or understanding more about negative thoughts and feelings. A solution-focused approach can bring about significant changes in as few as four sessions, even if your problems are more complex. In case of deep-rooted issues, like childhood trauma, depression or addiction, you’d likely need more than four sessions to feel long-lasting positive results. You don’t have to commit to multiple sessions at once and can decide if you need or don’t need another session on the spot.
