The worry cycleA thought leads to a feeling. The feeling leads to a behaviour such as avoiding, checking or seeking reassurance. That brings relief now and more worry later, which feeds the next thought.THOUGHTWhat if I getthis wrong?FEELINGAnxious,on edgeBEHAVIOURAvoid, check orseek reassuranceRESULTRelief now,more worry laterStep out ofthe loop

Does this sound familiar?

When your struggles start to take over

You might recognise some of this. Most people I work with notice several of these together.

  • You worry about things that have not happened yet
  • You replay conversations and wonder if you said the wrong thing
  • You avoid situations because they feel too overwhelming
  • You seek reassurance but never feel completely reassured
  • You get intrusive or unwanted thoughts
  • You feel trapped in checking, rumination or repetitive behaviours
  • You struggle with confidence or compare yourself to others
  • Difficult or traumatic experiences still affect you

You may understand logically that you are safe, but knowing this does not make the feelings go away. Therapy helps you understand the patterns keeping you stuck and find different ways of responding.

In short

Online CBT is a structured talking therapy delivered by video. In weekly one-hour sessions we look at how your thoughts, feelings and behaviour keep each other going, then build practical ways to change the patterns that keep you stuck. I offer it to adults across the UK for anxiety, panic, OCD, trauma and low self-confidence.

Common questions

The practical things most people ask before getting in touch.

See all questions

Why choose online therapy?

All sessions are delivered online through a secure video platform. You can get support from your own space, without travel or waiting rooms. Many clients find online therapy more flexible and accessible, and research on video-delivered CBT generally finds results comparable to in-person sessions for many difficulties. Sessions are confidential and follow BABCP professional and ethical standards.

Do I need a diagnosis before starting therapy?

No. You do not need a mental health diagnosis or a label. You can start with what you are experiencing and we make sense of it together. You can come because you are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, noticing changes in your mood or relationships, or because you want support and a better understanding of yourself.

How much does online CBT cost?

An online CBT session lasts one hour and costs £85. Sessions are usually weekly, and I am happy to be flexible if you need them more or less often.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. You can book a free 20-minute discovery call. It is a chance to tell me what is going on, ask questions and see whether I am the right person to work with. There is no pressure to go ahead afterwards.

How many therapy sessions will I need?

There is no single answer. Some people come to work on something specific over a few months. Others stay longer because they value a steady, supportive space. Some past clients ask for ad-hoc sessions as and when they need them. We check in regularly to make sure therapy is giving you what you want from it.
