Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counselling in Worcester
I use an integrative approach, combining Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT).
I understand how scary it can be to ask for help and how difficult it is to decide where to get support from. Asking for help is a brave decision and can lead to incredible outcomes. I will walk with you while you navigate the difficulties in your life, no matter how big or seemingly small. You decide what you bring to talk about and you set the pace. I offer a warm, empathic approach and put the relationship with my clients at the forefront of my work. I believe we all need a helping hand at times.

Reasons for having Counselling: You might be struggling with your mood – stress, anxiety, fight and flight, overwhelmed. You tend to focus on others, and their needs, to the detriment of your own - in your relationships and career. It might feel like you’re in a vicious cycle. There is a way out. My approach: A solution-focused approach, embedded in well-established therapies – CBT, Psychodynamic therapy and EMDR. I encourage having clear goals and collaboration for better outcomes. I specialised in brief work, focusing on a particular issue.

Life can feel really overwhelming sometimes. Maybe you’re dealing with anxiety that just won’t go away, the weight of something painful from your past, or the deep sadness of losing someone. You might feel stuck in patterns that aren’t helping, struggling with negative thoughts, self-doubt, or even flashbacks that bring up past trauma unexpectedly. Perhaps you’re finding it hard to sleep, constantly on edge, or feeling like your emotions are too much to handle on your own. I use a gentle, trauma-informed approach with tools like mindfulness and CBT to help you feel more balanced, confident, and ready to take on life again.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
