You might feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why things feel so difficult. Perhaps you’re carrying the impact of trauma or painful life experiences, struggling in relationships, or questioning parts of your identity. At times it may feel like you’ve lost connection with yourself or the direction of your life. You may want to better understand your patterns, make sense of your experiences, and feel more grounded and self-compassionate. Therapy can offer a space to reflect, process what you’ve been through, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

My approach is integrative, drawing on Transactional Analysis, psychodynamic, CBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I work with clients seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that shape how they relate to others. Many come to therapy to improve communication, navigate relationship difficulties, or break cycles of behaviour that no longer serve them. Using Transactional Analysis and psychodynamic theory, I help clients identify unhelpful patterns, explore their origins, and understand their impact in the present. This greater self-awareness can lead to healthier relationships, improved communication, and more choice in how they respond to life's challenges.

Hi, I’m Katie, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.
Through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), I help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are linked, and how these patterns can keep difficulties going. For example, anxiety can often be maintained by unhelpful thought patterns and avoidance or low self-esteem can be reinforced by negative self-beliefs.

Hi, I'm Fiona. Welcome to my profile. I am an experienced, and qualified counsellor who loves her job.

If you are looking for someone patient, warm and non judgemental, I'd really like to be that person to help you.

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.
