Neil Cochrane , BACP

Neil Cochrane is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings four years of counselling experience to his practice in the United Kingdom. He works as an integrative cognitive behavioural therapist, adapting evidence-based CBT techniques alongside complementary methods to match each person’s preferences and needs.

Neil places emphasis on building trust and maintaining a non-judgmental stance, with the aim of creating an environment where clients feel able to explore difficult feelings and experiences. He values collaboration, tailoring sessions to the practical goals and personal style of the person he is working with, and focuses on developing skills and insights that can help with stress, anxiety, relationships, and life changes.

Integrative CBT and Online Support

Neil uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical, goal-focused approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learn concrete strategies to manage symptoms and respond to challenges differently. CBT is often used for issues such as anxiety, low mood, and stress because it focuses on skills and small changes that add up over time.

Alongside CBT, Neil applies an integrative approach that blends techniques from different therapeutic models to suit each person's needs. This means selecting methods that fit the individual rather than following a single formula, and adapting the work as goals and circumstances evolve.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Neil works with clients to explore what feels most useful, adjust methods based on progress, and create a plan that aligns with the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, or other commitments. For many people, remote sessions increase accessibility and allow consistent therapeutic work without the need to travel, while still receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists.
