What is CBT & counselling?

Feelings
Understand how those thoughts influence your emotions and mood.

Develop practical tools and coping skills to create real change.

CBT for specific conditions
Evidence-based support, tailored to you
CBT can help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, phobias, gambling and other addictions, eating disorders, insomnia, ADHD, OCD, PTSD and relationship issues, amongst many others. Tap a condition below to see how CBT can help.
Living with ADHD can feel like your mind is constantly switching channels, overwhelming, frustrating, and sometimes exhausting. Understanding how ADHD affects the brain can be incredibly empowering. Rebecca offers tailored CBT that helps you make sense of how your unique brain works, equipping you with practical tools to manage attention, motivation, emotional regulation and daily organisation. Together you can also explore the impact ADHD can have on anxiety, OCD traits and low self-esteem, common but often overlooked companions.
Focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts, breaking patterns of avoidance or withdrawal, and increasing activities that bring a sense of pleasure, achievement or connection.
Helps break the cycle of worry by addressing thinking styles like catastrophising and intolerance of uncertainty, while using behavioural experiments to reduce avoidance and build confidence.
Targets obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours through exposure and response prevention (ERP) and by challenging the beliefs that maintain the cycle of anxiety and rituals.
Supports safe processing of traumatic memories and reduces symptoms like flashbacks and hypervigilance by addressing unhelpful beliefs and using structured techniques like trauma narratives or imagery rescripting.
Works to reduce fear of judgement and embarrassment by challenging self-critical thoughts and using behavioural experiments to test feared predictions in social settings.
Focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions and eating behaviours, while addressing perfectionism, body image and the rules that drive disordered eating patterns.
Combines practical strategies like sleep hygiene and stimulus control with cognitive work to tackle worry, rumination and unhelpful beliefs about sleep.
Uses graded exposure and cognitive restructuring to reduce avoidance and rewire the brain's threat response to specific feared objects or situations.
Helps partners understand the thoughts and behaviour patterns that fuel conflict, improve communication and rebuild connection through shared, practical strategies.
Supports understanding of the triggers, thoughts and behaviours that drive substance use or compulsive behaviours, building skills for coping, relapse prevention and long-term change.
Helps recognise the triggers and internal cues of anger, identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build healthier ways to manage strong emotions and express needs.

What clients say
Kind words from people Rebecca has helped
★★★★★
Rebecca has shown me she is an experienced, professional therapist, offering a non-judgemental, sincere, proactive and sensitive approach. Her various techniques have assisted me hugely. Would highly recommend.
★★★★★
Rebecca is a great therapist, very encouraging, reassuring & professional. I have known and worked with her for over 8 years. You will feel safe & well supported in her treatment. I'd recommend her to anyone.
★★★★★
Rebecca made me feel at ease as soon as I met her. She's very insightful and had great suggestions for dealing with my anxiety. I highly recommend her as a CBT therapist.
★★★★★
Before my appointments with Rebecca, I had been suffering from an undiagnosed eating disorder and self-harm. It wasn't until my mum asked me to go to therapy that things changed. After talking with Rebecca I realised I had a problem that was heavily impacting my life and that I deserved to be healthy. Since meeting with her I have been given the tools to battle my disorder thinking and been empowered to be the person I am. I can't thank Rebecca enough.
★★★★★
Rebecca has always been super kind and supportive of me and I have always felt comfortable in her presence. I am provided with a safe space to talk about whatever is on my mind, safe in the knowledge that the information is kept highly confidential. Rebecca goes above and beyond to find successful techniques and solutions for me to overcome my barriers that I will forever be grateful for.
★★★★★
I contacted Rebecca when I found myself at one of the lowest and most difficult times of my life. It was difficult to make the call, but from her first words I knew that she would listen to me without judgement. We set up weekly face-to-face sessions and talked through what was happening in my life. Rebecca listened intently, offered support and guidance, and had a large amount of material ready for me to read.
★★★★★
I started with panic attacks 7 months ago. Rebecca quickly identified that I was suffering from health anxiety. She said that by the time we finished CBT I wouldn't be able to physically have a panic attack, and I now know that to be true. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and I looked forward to our sessions as my mind was always put at rest. I will be forever grateful to Rebecca for getting me through the hardest time of my life.
