1:1 CBT and Coaching
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT ) is one of the most widely-used and effective approaches for anxiety and depression.
Coaching is typically used for things that you might not feel need "therapy" as such but that you want to improve, for example confidence.
I do both!
How it Works
When you are struggling with something it can be confusing and even frustrating: why am I feeling or acting this way?
​
CBT assumes that the way we feel and act is driven by a combination of what is happening around us, and the way we perceive things. Some things are always hard to take, but sometimes the way we perceive the issue magnifies or changes how it hits us.
Importantly, this isn't about being "irrational" but instead understanding that the way we perceive things comes from our experiences. For example: you are more likely to be afraid of being laughed at if you have been laughed at before.
​
Understanding where it comes from and how it works is the first step towards being able to identify the key things to make changes that will actually work. Then it is all about introducing things that you can practise and apply.

"I immediately felt comfortable with Ted. He's a fantastic listener, who expertly helped me process some very difficult experiences and emotions. He's brilliant at unpacking complex issues and taught me how to understand the way I think, feel and act. As a result of our sessions I've healed deep wounds, developed a sense of confidence and self-worth, know how to set boundaries and communicate securely, and have fallen in love with the life I'm living." - F
​What can I help with?
I work with a wide range of issues including:
ANXIETY
From a general sense of worry to more specific issues such as social anxiety, OCD, panic attacks or PTSD.
​
DEPRESSION
Depression is a very common issue and can be respond very well to CBT, particularly when we focus not only on the current symptoms but also the root causes.
​
CONFIDENCE, SELF ESTEEM OR FEELING LOST
Maybe it's about wanting to feel more confident in yourself or in speaking. Maybe it's about not being sure where to go next.
​
OTHER ISSUES
I also work with other issues such as body image or interpersonal relationships. Not sure? Get in touch.

My Approach and Fees
WHO
I work with adults and I also work parents who want to help their children.
​
HOW AND WHEN
I do my 1:1 sessions exclusively online and I do my client work Monday-Thursday between 09:15 and 16:45.
​
GETTING STARTED
Get in touch via email and tell me a little bit about what you are looking for help with. If I do have capacity and it sounds like I can help, our first step will be finding 30 minutes to speak (no charge) so that I can ask a little more, and give you an impression of what we would do about it, so you can tell if this feels like the right fit for you.
​
FEES
My fees are £180 an hour for a self-funding client, but are generally higher for businesses and organisations.
