Difficult thoughts and difficult emotions are normal. I know that. I also know that change is possible. I know that change is possible because I have facilitated and witnessed significant change in many of the magnificent people that I have been honoured to work with as my clients.

In case you may be wondering what the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy experience involves in practical terms perhaps I can try to describe it as follows.

Some of the issues that I work with include, anxiety, depression, phobias, eating issues, substance issues, sleep  problems, obsessive compulsion, feeling a bit out of sorts but not knowing why, and a variety of behaviours that people would like to change.

I work with people in-person and online with sessions typically lasting for roughly 55 minutes. If I work with you in-person our first session will consist of us sitting across from each other and exploring what might be required by you and what success might look like for you. Online work involves the same process remotely. During this phase we introduce ourselves to each other, I explain the CBT model to you and we go through a structured exercise collaboratively to identify your precise needs.

As no two people’s issues are the same and as our work together is all about you, your CBT journey will be different from other people’s. So too might the number of sessions required by you and the frequency at which they take place. Typically between 5 and 20 sessions occur but as we progress it is you who will  ultimately decide the number and frequency of sessions based on your needs and your availability. I am more than happy to facilitate your wishes. The sessions in question are highly structured to ensure continuous progress.

When our work together concludes, its benefits – which will be unique to your specific requirements – are designed to remain with you long into the future. Follow-on check-in sessions are available if required to ensure that you continue to feel supported, listened to and valued.

“Very impressive set up. Compassionate, knowledgeable and very professional. Would strongly recommend”.

“I wholeheartedly endorse Fergus & his Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Programme.
Fergus helped recalibrate my brain, in order to stop it from continuously flooding with negative thoughts. He did this through a series of exercises, that enabled me to rediscover my perspective.
Fergus is a great listener. The sessions are structured and nothing is allowed fall on the floor.
Can’t speak highly enough of the man. Fergus is the perfect mix of professionalism & compassion.”

“Excellent. Helped me with my mental health issues. No judgement, just help and most of all compassion. I would not be in the place I am now without Fergus. Would strongly recommend.”
