Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counselling in Swords
I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, CBT, and integrative approaches, tailoring therapy to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
You may be feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, unsure why things feel so heavy right now. Past experiences, identity questions, grief, or life transitions might be impacting your sense of safety or self-worth.
I’m Keith, a pre-accredited psychotherapist (APCP), and I work with adults online who want a supportive space to explore what’s holding them back. You don’t need to have it all figured out, all you need to do is contact me today and get started on your self-healing journey.

My therapeutic approach is an integrative one, incorporating the principles of Person-Centred Therapy (a non-directive, empathic approach that empowers clients to fulfil their own potential), Psychodynamic Therapy (which explores the influence of the past on current behaviours) and also CBT, when more specific guidance is required and appropriate.
I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low-mood, low self-esteem, loneliness, grief/loss, abuse, trauma, infertility, relationship difficulties, work and family issues, to name but a few. Or with clients who may simply be feeling overwhelmed with life in general and are unsure how to move forward. I also work with couples who may be experiencing a crisis in their relationship or who simply need guidance on how to reconnect with each other.

Depending on your goals, we might explore tools from CBT, ACT, and Polyvagal theory, among others.
I see every client as a unique individual shaped by their life story, resources, and difficulties. No one else has lived your life or sees the world quite like you do. That’s why I approach therapy with respect for your individuality, and I aim to create a space where your story feels seen, valued, and understood. I work with people who are navigating emotional pain, childhood trauma, relationship struggles, life transitions, or unhelpful patterns that feel resistant to change. Many are looking to better understand themselves, find steadier ground, and build more meaningful connections.

The ideal environment is one that both supports & challenges us. Too often we go without both of these conditions. A Life Coach will tease out and help you create your vision of what you really want your life to be. If everything in your life stays status quo, you will head into a default future. We need another perspective if not we tend to go around repeating our default patterns and getting nowhere. As a Transformational Life Coach Linda acts as the boat, that you the client steps into, to move across the gap, to get you from your current life, to the life that is calling you.

Hello and welcome.
I offer highly personalised, deeply integrative support for a small number of individuals and families navigating life after a neurodivergent identification (e.g. Autistic, ADHD). I’m the founder and leader of Thriving Autistic, a global nonprofit supporting neurodivergent adults in 19 countries.
My work sits at the intersection of psychology, sensory awareness, relational clarity, and systems change. I work especially well with individuals whose lives are layered, high-stakes, or in significant transition — including senior leaders, professionals, and those seeking more than traditional therapy alone can offer.

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.
