I draw on many different approaches depending upon what you feel works for you, including cognitive/behavioural work, trauma therapy, Internal Family Systems informed therapy and Psychosynthesis.
Hi, I'm Kate Brady and after over thirty years experience as a therapist I offer friendly, flexible online therapy centred around you as a unique individual. With a wide range of therapeutic tools learnt over the years, we can explore the approach which will best suit you and help you to meet life's challenges. This might involve healing and releasing difficulties from the past, letting go negative beliefs that hold you back or bringing understanding to all aspects of your personality so you can discover new inner resources. As well as offering traditional 'talk therapy', I also offer EMDR and IFS based therapy where helpful.

I include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in practice to help manage behaviour by helping my clients challenge and modify irrational beliefs and distorted thinking.
Over the years, I've come to appreciate that everyone, regardless of their background, has a unique story that is worthy of being heard and understood. Life, with its unpredictable turns, presents challenges that can sometimes feel insurmountable. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, respect, and evidence-based practice. I combine both Psychodynamic Therapy, where I look to understand your childhood to where you are today, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), an integrative approach.

I also hold postgraduate qualifications as a Dialectical Behaviour Therapist (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy ( CBT) and Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT).
I see that all behaviours such as self-harm, suicide attempts, drinking, drug abuse and other impulsive behaviours have developed as coping strategies to cope with and numb difficult emotions and experiences. These behaviours often act as a plaster to a deeper wound, but just like a plaster they don’t really ever fully heal unless they have time to heal properly. This is the work of therapy to take off the plaster and look more towards the root causes of the behaviour to work out what is going on for you.

It is difficult to stay on course throughout our lives. As a behavioural psychologist and psychotherapist, I understand why some people come to therapy when they feel they have lost the sense of who they are by bending into who they think their partner, boss or parents need.

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.
