Treated With Respect
You can be assured of being treated with respect and as an equal, without judgement or stigma and with warmth, understanding and empathy. I will work openly and honestly with you and will encourage you to be the same with me.
Motivational Interviewing
I recognise change is not easy, therefore, CBT may also include motivational interviewing and behaviour change skills, tools and techniques to help you explore barriers to change and how these may be overcome.
BABCP Accredited Therapist
When accessing therapy, it is often reassuring to know that your therapist is working to high standards of practice in their profession. Being a BABCP accredited therapist demonstrates that I have achieved their high standards for training, knowledge and clinical practice in this field, and that I uphold their codes of professional conduct and ethical practice.
In addition, I receive monthly clinical supervision with a fellow BABCP Accredited Therapist, and undertake regular on-going professional development training.
I have always lived in the Telford area, am married with a family and two cats and enjoy reading, creative arts and the outdoors.
What Is CBT
We are disturbed not by things, but by the view which we take of them” Epictetus 55-135 AD.
CBT, or Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, is a talking therapy which is clinically proven to help treat a wide range of emotional difficulties. It looks at how our thoughts affect our feelings and influence our behaviours. For example, imagine you are on a diet and have eaten something you did not plan to.
We can see how our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are linked and how sometimes the ways we think and act are not helpful to us, and actually keep our problems going. Of course your difficulty may not be about weight loss, and I’ve just used this as an example. But whatever the issue you would like to work on, we would still look at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours; it’s just the content will be different and personal to you.

Client Testimonials
“Having just successfully completed my CBT programme with Caroline, I can’t thank her enough for helping me get my life back to where I want it to be. I can now start living again and in complete control of my OCD.”
“I approached Caroline at Feel Better CBT to rebuild my self-esteem. She was fantastic and helped me to understand that just because I think something about myself, it doesn’t mean it’s actually true. At every step of my journey, Caroline was supportive, understanding and professional and I felt very comfortable working alongside her. The work I have done with her has had a dramatic impact on my opinion of myself. I am still using the tools that she introduced me to and without question, I do now feel much happier. I found the experience eye-opening and constructive and I would definitely recommend Feel Better CBT to people who are looking to actively participate in solving whatever issue they may be experiencing.”
“I went to Caroline for help with an unusual phobia that I’ve had for over five years. I was amazed that what I thought was an untreatable fear could be conquered in just over one month. It’s a huge burden off my life.”
“Thank you Caroline for putting me on the right path out of depression.”
