Growing up can be hard and the teenage and adolescent years can be particularly challenging. It is a time of significant transition, bringing with it creativity, heightened emotions and turbulent feelings. Whilst this period of life can be exhilarating and enriching, it can also stir up feelings of confusion, frustration, loneliness, anger, sadness, shame and anxiety. At times this can lead to depression, anxiety, self-harm or risk taking behaviours.

My interest in Psychotherapy began many years ago when I embarked on a philosophical journey of self-discovery to gain a better understanding of myself and life. My interests developed into the works of existential thinkers Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean Paul Sartre.The Existential approach is a philosophical method of therapy that operates on the belief that inner conflict within a person is due to that individual's confrontation with the givens of existence. At the time, I had a great need to understand my own existence and how my values gave meaning to my life

Are you searching through here knowing that you have family, friends who love, care about you yet you feel alone with no one who you feel you can talk to. No one you feel that you can be your "real" and "honest" self. Worried that you may hurt or upset their feelings or that they may even judge you. At times during different stages of our life's we can experience challenges, change, loss, pain or suffering that can be hard for us to understand. These feelings and emotions can have an impact on us as individuals in a unique way.

Does it seem as though your life will never get better no matter how much you try to change it? Does constant worrying make it hard for you to complete daily tasks? Is your work performance suffering? Are your relationships with co-workers strained? Is your family in turmoil and you’re feeling powerless to change things? Anxiety, depression, conflict with others, workplace issues and life events can stop us from feeling good about ourselves and achieving our goals. If you’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone. I can help you navigate confusing thoughts, feelings and behaviours to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your needs.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to view my profile. My name is Jack Langley and I am a registered Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT). I have significant experience in helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, manage difficult emotions and break cycles of behaviour through the evidence-based approach of CBT. You may notice self-critical or anxious thoughts getting in the way of your life, or perhaps you are tired of feeling stressed, low, and anxious? Maybe you notice that you avoid difficult situations? maybe you spend much of your time worrying about the past or future? this can all be worked through.

To say a bit about myself, I’m trained at Masters (MSc) level in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have worked at Waterloo Community Counselling for four years, an NHS multidisciplinary team working with survivors of child sexual abuse and a men’s residential unit which delivers personalised support for men with complex mental health needs. My style of working is psychodynamic. In its simplest form, this involves thinking about how your past impacts your current lived experience. A process that involves us thinking together about relationships in the past and present, whilst exploring unconscious thought processes.

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR therapist working in both the NHS and private practice. I am experienced in providing therapy to adults suffering from a variety of psychological difficulties and/or relationship problems. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who are affected by past traumas and/or psychosis. I acknowledge that when seeking help for such difficulties time is of the essence and therefore I employ three associate therapists in my clinic so that if I do not have availability immediately then hopefully they will. Please do get in touch for a chat.

I am aware that seeking professional support for difficulties can feel daunting. I am passionate about creating a safe, containing and non-judgmental space to work with you to make sense of the challenges in your life and to work towards creating meaningful changes. I believe that it is important to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and draw on their strengths and skills to overcome such challenges. I work with a range of individuals (adults and young people) experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, health related difficulties, and adjustment.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
