About Neil

Neil Cochrane is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. He also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain and workplace stress. He works with concerns linked to codependency, guilt and shame, men's issues and challenges common for young adults.

Neil takes a straightforward approach in sessions. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect.

Background and approach

He aims to work in a way that suits each person, matching methods to their preferences and needs. He values building trust and being non-judgemental. That creates a calmer space to talk honestly about what is troubling someone.

Sessions are practical and aim to help people manage symptoms and try new ways of coping. Neil has four years of counselling experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He draws on that experience when choosing how to plan sessions and set goals with people.

People can expect clear conversation, practical tools from CBT and gentle support while they work through hard situations. He focuses on helping people make small, realistic changes that fit their daily life.

Ways of working Neil names

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How CBT and online sessions work together

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood and stress. This approach often uses practical exercises and simple homework between sessions to build new habits.

Neil also follows an integrative approach, which means he adapts CBT techniques to fit each person. That may include using different tools or conversational styles depending on what someone prefers. Finding the right way forward is a collaborative process where therapist and client decide what methods suit the person’s goals and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or practical barriers. Video calls let conversations feel much like in-person sessions while keeping travel time down. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing to speaking.

Registered or accredited professionals who offer online work can combine these formats with CBT to deliver focused, practical help that fits around daily responsibilities.
