How CBT Helps

Providing Cognitive Behaviour Therapy online or in person

At Thames Valley Care, I am passionate about showing how CBT helps people living in Wokingham and the surrounding areas. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a trusted, evidence-based therapy for tackling common emotional difficulties. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, or managing stress, CBT offers a proven way forward. My goal is to help you understand the link between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and empower you to break free from unhelpful patterns.

With more than 15 years of clinical experience, I provide clinical assessment followed by a practical, bespoke treatment package for a wide range of concerns. Whether you're facing anxiety disorders, depression, anger issues, autism-related challenges, trauma, eating or sleeping problems, relationship difficulties, or even complex emotion regulation or personality disorders, my approach is designed to suit your unique needs. Each of my clients receives specialised care, sessions may be offered online or in person in Wokingham, and I'm registered with all major health insurance companies.

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that is both practical and structured, helping people in Wokingham and across the Thames Valley get to the root of their challenges. The central principle of CBT is straightforward: the way you think and behave has a direct effect on how you feel. By working together, we identify the unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that cause distress. Through targeted strategies, I guide you to challenge and change these patterns, allowing for measurable improvements in your emotional wellbeing.

CBT for anxiety, depression, and stress management is especially effective, and its approach is grounded in clear goals that we set together. You'll play an active role, even completing tasks and assignments between sessions to reinforce positive change in everyday life. Typically, a course of CBT ranges from 6 to 24 weekly sessions, with adjustments depending on the complexity of your needs. For younger clients, I often involve parents as co-partners, ensuring progress is ongoing between meetings.

At Thames Valley Care, I provide experienced, evidence-based CBT support every step of the way.
