Kent CBT Counsellor

Do you doubt yourself, feel a failure, seeking constant reassurance, or obsess and overthink things that seem intrusive and overwhelming? Then you are not alone, because these are common thoughts and behaviours that some of my clients have too.

Opening up in therapy can feel unnatural at first and you may feel judged as being “weird, or abnormal”. Through the evidence-based CBT model, we can begin to break down these self-sabotaging thoughts and repeated negative patterns. The results can be empowering through perspective, hope and creativity, and provide an essential safe space to offload, reflect and reframe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do CBT online?

Yes, I see lots of clients online for CBT. This type of therapy works well online and with a good internet connection, its common to use the share button on most online systems to work on various goals and interventions and has benefitted many clients this way.

How much is CBT therapy?

My rates are the same for all my services either online or face-to-face. I have the option to book the flat fee price of £50 per 50 mins to 1 hour per session for individual therapy or £60 for couples. There is also the option to book block bookings for 6 or 12 sessions for individual clients either weekly or bi-weekly reducing costs significantly.

How many sessions do I need for CBT?

Clients who only want to focus on CBT theories (including Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) or Solution Focused Therapy (SFA) tend to only need shorter-term therapy. This can range from a minimum of about 4-6 sessions.

Generally, most clients attend a minimum of 6 sessions in order to notice improved results in their mood and feel an overall sense of wellbeing to move forward more positively. As CBT focuses more on the immediate ‘here and now’, it tends not to focus heavily on the past aspects of a person’s life but aims to focus on breaking down negative and irrational thinking, forming new neurological reframing and pathways.

I offer a 6-block booking option at a discounted rate for this very reason. Having had your initial consultation, we would agree a bespoke plan that allows a more goal-oriented focus, including regular activities to work on during sessions. After six sessions, clients can then have a review and see how they feel about moving forward with more sessions or taking a break after to see how they feel.

Research also shows that CBT theories can also work well for some trauma and PTSD or abuse recovery clients. I would tend to use CBT alongside a holistic intervention programme that is bespoke to the client and this would tend to be longer. I offer a 12-block booking option for this reason and you can find more information in the ‘Trauma & Abuse’ service or read about Trauma and symptoms under this service section to see if this applies to you. The only true way to know, is to start at least 6 sessions and see how you feel afterwards. I do regular reviews with clients to see where they are at during the process, and we agree a focus, at least every 6 sessions.
