Frequently Asked Questions
Find clarity on session expectations, accreditation, and therapy techniques.
What does BABCP accreditation mean?
BABCP accreditation is the gold standard for CBT therapists in the UK and Ireland. It means I have met rigorous standards of training and experience, and I adhere to a strict code of ethics and professional conduct.
What can I expect in a typical CBT session?
Sessions are collaborative and structured. We'll work together to identify goals, discuss current challenges, and practice tools to change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.
How many sessions will I need?
The duration depends on your unique requirements. While often brief, typically 6–20 sessions, treatment is flexible. We can engage in long-term work if your journey requires extended support.
What techniques are used in CBT?
We use a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive restructuring to challenge negative thoughts, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness-based strategies designed for your specific needs.
Is CBT effective for anxiety and depression?
Absolutely. Multiple evidence-based studies consistently show that CBT is a highly effective treatment for anxiety and depression, offering validated techniques to gain relief and long-term recovery.
Do you offer online or in-person sessions?
I provide both in-person sessions at my practice and convenient online therapy via secure video platforms, ensuring you can access support in a way that feels most comfortable for you.
