About Neil

Neil Cochrane is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulty, trauma and a range of life challenges. He works as an integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, combining the structured, goal-focused methods of CBT with complementary techniques chosen to suit each person's preferences and needs. This flexible approach helps him tailor sessions to issues such as low self-esteem, anger, grief, parenting concerns, workplace pressures and intimacy-related difficulties.

Neil places strong emphasis on building trust and offering a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. His practice aims to respect individual preferences and to collaborate with clients on practical strategies and insights that feel relevant to their everyday lives. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he works within recognised professional standards for counselling and therapy.

Whether people seek short-term support for a specific problem or longer-term work to address deeper patterns such as codependency, guilt and shame, or compassion fatigue, Neil adapts his methods to meet each client where they are and help them move forward at their own pace.

CBT-informed and Integrative Online Therapy Options

Neil uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach, helping people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and stress. CBT typically focuses on changing thoughts and behaviours to improve daily functioning and coping skills. He also describes his practice as integrative, which means he draws on complementary techniques when appropriate to suit each person's preferences and the specific issues they bring. An integrative approach allows techniques to be blended into a coherent plan that fits the client's needs.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Neil collaborates with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful, adapting plans over time based on progress, goals and personal comfort. Registered professionals and therapists often adjust their style to match what each person responds to best.

Online therapy with Neil is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These formats make it easier to access consistent support without travel, while allowing sessions to fit around work, family and everyday life.
