Hello, I'm Jonathan. Do you feel stuck in your life or a bit lost? Perhaps you aren't sure what you should be doing or why things aren't working. Perhaps you need to take some time to figure out where you are, what you want and how to progress there. I would be happy to help provide a space for you to do just that and work with you to see you get on track to a happier, more fulfilling life. I have found I am well suited to supporting people who are neurodivergent, struggling with anxiety or depression, or are part of a marginalised group.

This world has never been more confusing and difficult to navigate due to the rapid changes in our society, particularly as we are emerging from Covid restrictions and straight into a war in Europe and cost of living crisis. We are all individuals and I believe that there is no 'one size fits all' approach to counselling. I therefore tailor my approach to each client to ensure that every client gets a truly individual experience. My office is based in the Alba Centre in Livingston which is set among parkland. I have been a qualified counsellor for many years and have had my own Private Practice since 2017 based in Livingston.

If we use a CBT approach, we will explore the problem and how this affects your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Hello, my name is Dr Elaine Turtle. I set up my practice 8 years ago. I understand that beginning your journey can be difficult and stressful. I have therefore taken time to create a safe space for you to feel able to talk to me about your troubles. The first session will explore your concerns and what you wish to gain from therapy. Together we create a unique plan that is focussed on your needs/outcomes. I have training in various therapy methods/approaches and will talk you through which ones would benefit you. I am also a registered Clinical Supervisor and work with trainees and qualified therapists. I am accredited by BPS.

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.
