About Neil
Neil Cochrane is a BACP counsellor with four years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and depression. He also supports people facing workplace pressures, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside an integrative approach. He focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to test new ways of responding in everyday situations.
Neil keeps sessions straightforward and structured. He works at a pace clients find manageable and reviews progress regularly. He encourages short exercises and experiments to help build new patterns of thinking and behaviour.
He pays attention to work-related strain, codependency, guilt and shame, and issues often raised by men and young adults. He also helps people with sleep and eating concerns and the stress of parenting and life changes.
Neil is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. He offers work that aims to be practical and goal-focused. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats.
How CBT and integrative work translate to online sessions
Neil uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different responses. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments and practical tasks that can be done between meetings to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change unhelpful habits.He also describes his practice as integrative, which means he adapts techniques to suit what a person prefers. That might involve a structured skills plan one week and a more exploratory conversation the next. Together they decide what fits the person's aims and life circumstances.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Neil will discuss goals and preferences at the start and adjust methods as progress is reviewed. This is a collaborative process that balances short-term steps and longer-term changes.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here.
