Online appointments let us have that personal conversation without travelling to a therapy room. We can meet by video or telephone, or discuss scheduled CBT by text or SMS if writing feels easier.
Although I’m based in Bradford, I do not offer in-person appointments. You can compare online CBT with local, in-person therapy before deciding. Our free first call gives you a chance to ask questions and see whether this way of working feels right.
