Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence‑based therapy that helps you understand the links between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Together, we work on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building skills you can use in everyday life to reduce distress and improve how you cope.

Recovery coaching offers supportive, person‑centred guidance for people working on changes in areas like addiction, habits or lifestyle. It focuses on building structure, motivation and confidence, identifying triggers, strengthening coping strategies, and supporting day‑to‑day progress. My approach is informed by my own lived experience of recovery, which helps me offer empathy and understanding while keeping the work focused on your goals.

CBT is a structured, clinical therapy often used for specific difficulties such as anxiety, depression, OCD and trauma. It follows evidence‑based protocols and is usually more structured session‑to‑session.

Recovery coaching is more flexible and goal‑focused, drawing on practical support, accountability and lived experience. It can be a good option if you want help with motivation, routine, relapse prevention and navigating life changes, without necessarily working within a formal therapy model.

We can discuss which approach (or combination) might suit you best in an initial conversation.

Yes. I offer both in‑person and online CBT and recovery coaching sessions. Online sessions are conducted via a secure video platform and can be a good option if you have mobility issues, caring responsibilities, or prefer the convenience of attending from home.

• In‑Person CBT: £50 per 50‑minute session

• Online CBT: £45 per 50‑minute session

• Recovery Coaching (lived‑experience informed): £50 per 50‑minute session

I also offer package rates and may have limited reduced‑rate places. If cost is a concern, please speak to me—there may be options we can explore together.

This varies depending on your goals and the difficulties you’re working on. Some people find 6–12 sessions helpful; others prefer shorter or longer blocks of work. We’ll review progress regularly and adjust the plan as needed.

You can get in touch by email or phone to arrange an initial conversation. If we decide it’s appropriate to work together, we’ll agree on a regular time and day for your sessions. I’ll then confirm details by email, including how to join online sessions or the address for in‑person appointments.

Please let me know at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations or missed sessions will be charged, unless there are exceptional circumstances. I aim to be flexible and understanding, while also keeping the service fair and sustainable.

Yes. Anything you tell me is confidential, with some important legal and ethical exceptions (for example, if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else, or safeguarding concerns). I’ll explain these clearly at the start of our work together.

I am a qualified CBT therapist and recovery coach, and I hold professional indemnity insurance. I follow a recognised code of ethics and engage in regular supervision and continuing professional development.

Yes. Many people find it helpful to have a brief initial conversation to discuss what you’re experiencing, what you’re hoping for, and which option might suit you best. There’s no pressure to commit, and you can ask any questions before deciding.

I understand that financial difficulties can make accessing support feel out of reach. I’m a human being first and foremost, and I know life doesn’t always go to plan. If you’re struggling, please speak to me—there may be options such as reduced‑rate sessions, shorter appointments, or a payment plan that works for you.
