Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is based on the principle that the way you perceive situations shapes how you feel and act. It can be used to address a range of challenges, such as anxiety, stress, self-doubt, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and more.

Through 1:1 Online CBT Therapy, I will work with you to rewire your mindset by identifying and transforming unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, helping you to tackle challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

I’m ready

It’s time to

Break out of the cycle

Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of overthinking or dealing with constant anxiety and stress, even though you've tried various solutions? Maybe you’ve tried another form of therapy in the past or different mindfulness exercises, but you just can’t seem to break free from the negative cycle you’re trapped in – and now you’re finding it really difficult to move forward in your personal and professional life.

Sometimes unknowingly, our thoughts and actions can perpetuate our problems. Instead of improving them, we actually keep them going… along with all of the negative feelings that come with them.

If you’re ready to change your reality, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a short-term, highly effective evidence-based therapy with long-lasting results.

What is CBT?

Cognitive Therapy examines the things you think, while Behavioural Therapy examines the things you do. When combined, CBT is a talking therapy that takes a look at the way that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are all interconnected.

When compared with other forms of therapy, CBT is structured, active and goal-orientated. You’ll follow a plan, complete set actions or tasks between sessions, and learn how to equip yourself with tools and strategies to cope with what you’re feeling.

Let’s begin

The Transformation

Go from...

Experiencing anxiety and stress to discovering how to relax with effective strategies.

Feeling burnt out to renewed energy, purpose and wellbeing.

Grappling with perfectionism to letting go of unhelpful perfectionism whilst maintaining your high standards.

Never satisfied with achievements to feeling content with where you are.

Struggling with a lack of confidence to believing in yourself and your abilities.

Having all-or-nothing thinking to adopting a more flexible and balanced mindset.

Never feeling good enough to finally feeling confident to go after what you want.

Feeling self-critical and self-sabotaging to cultivating self-compassion and proactively pursuing your goals.

Experiencing low mood to feeling happier, greater energy and increased motivation.

Constantly worrying to greater peace of mind, even in the midst of uncertainty.

Repeatedly people-pleasing
to setting boundaries and asserting your needs.

If you’re questioning

IS ONLINE CBT THERAPY FOR Me?

Anyone can benefit from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! Depending on the areas you’d like to focus on, CBT has been proven to be effective in treating a range of difficulties: anxiety, stress, burnout, panic, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety, low mood, eating difficulties, perfectionism, and more. It can also help you cope better with symptoms of physical health problems, such as IBS and chronic fatigue.

That being said, you don’t have to be struggling with a particular issue to benefit from CBT. CBT can help you achieve your goals, learn how to manage negative thoughts, gain self awareness, and equip you with helpful coping strategies. 

Unlike other forms of therapy, CBT doesn’t involve dwelling on or diving into your past. All that this form of therapy requires of you is to be committed to the process, and motivated to complete the tasks or actions between sessions. If you give the process your all, you’ll reap the incredible long-lasting benefits.

THE Process

Though your own personal Online CBT Therapy journey will be unique, CBT sessions follow this structure: 

01

Before we embark on your journey, I will carry out an initial assessment to examine how suitable CBT is for helping you with what you are struggling with.

02

Next, we’ll map out the problems you want to focus on and set some concrete goals.

03

From then on, sessions take place on a weekly basis. We’ll begin each session by setting an agenda, which we’ll then reflect on afterwards.

04

At the end of each session, you’ll leave with a home task to complete before we next meet. Together we’ll develop and agree on what that is – action plans are a key feature of CBT. We’ll then review these at our next session.

What’s included

Every month, you will have weekly 50 minute sessions.

The course of therapy typically
lasts 3-6 months: I’ll be able to
give you an idea of whether I think short-term or longer-term sessions will be helpful for you after our initial consultation.

All sessions take place on Zoom, as I specialise in online CBT.

The sessions involve weekly tasks, which could include: completing a thought record, an activity diary, a survey, or practising a new coping strategy.

What my clients are saying

More reviews

“And above all that she was just a gentle and unwavering support who held my hand through a truly difficult period, and I’m so grateful for all of her kind help, I honestly couldn’t recommend her more.

I reached out to Lorna for help with primarily anxiety and burnout from working as a junior Doctor during the pandemic. Lorna has
quite honestly helped transform my mindset, and was an unwavering support through what turned out to be an even more difficult period due to personal circumstances. Lorna was so supportive, and easy to talk to. She has given me tools to incorporate into my every day which has helped build my confidence, tackle excessive worrying and ease my anxiety.”

– Anonymous, Doctor

“I went to Lorna stressed and with burnout after the pandemic. Her positive and friendly approach helped me refocus my goals and challenge myself.

Small consistent changes have added up to a solid foundation for success and growth for the future. Would highly recommend to anyone at any profession.”

FAQs

How does CBT work?

CBT is based on the idea that the way you think about a situation can affect how you feel and behave. I therefore help you to identify, understand and change ways of thinking and behaving to help improve the way you feel e.g. less anxious and happier. I help you to deal with overwhelming problems by breaking them down into manageable steps for sustainable progress.

CBT empowers you! CBT is a collaborative form of therapy. You are actively involved in the therapy process in various ways such as completing tasks between sessions - this could be a thought record, an activity diary, a survey devised together or practising a coping strategy that I have taught you in the session.

How long is the process?

CBT is a relatively short-term and goal-oriented therapy, so the course of therapy typically lasts 3-6 months depending on your presenting difficulties, what we decide to work on and your goals. I’ll be able to give you an idea of whether I think short-term or longer-term sessions will be helpful for you after our initial consultation. I have some clients though who value the space to talk, work through any challenges they face and work on any other goals they have so they choose to carry on working with me for a longer period of time.

How often are the sessions?

Therapy sessions take place on a weekly basis.

How are CBt sessions structured?

At the start of therapy, I carry out an assessment and examine how suitable CBT is for helping you with what you are struggling with. We’ll then agree on what problems you would like to work on and set goals. At all sessions thereafter, you can expect to work with me to better understand your presenting difficulties and develop new strategies for tackling them.

We set an agenda together at the start of every session to help us plan for the session, and reflect on it afterwards. You will leave with a home task to complete between sessions, which we will have collaboratively developed and agreed on. Action plans are a key feature of CBT; a great deal of the work involved in improving your mental health and well-being happens between sessions. We would always review these at the following session.
