Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Online CBT Therapy in the UK, Marbella and Finland
I offer online CBT therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction.
What Is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based talking therapy that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions, and how they influence one another in everyday life.
It helps you identify unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, and replaces them with more realistic alternatives. CBT is practical and structured, with clear goals that we agree together, so you always have a sense of direction in the work.
In our sessions, we explore both what is happening in the present and how past experiences, including trauma and addiction, may be contributing to your current responses. Alongside insight, CBT gives you techniques you can start applying between sessions to support long-term change.
How It Can Help
CBT can support younger adults (roughly 18–45) who feel stuck in cycles of addiction, trauma, anxiety, stress, or low mood. It is helpful if you notice recurring patterns, such as self-criticism, avoidance, overthinking, or struggling to follow through on your goals.
Many of my clients come to CBT when they feel their coping strategies are no longer working, or when they want a more structured and scientifically grounded approach. CBT can be particularly effective for difficulties such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction-related behaviours, and the after-effects of stressful or traumatic experiences. You do not need to have any formal diagnosis for CBT to be useful, you just need to be willing to explore your patterns and try something different
What Sessions Might Look Like
CBT sessions with me are online, calm, and focused, giving you a grounded, attentive space to explore what is going on for you. We typically begin by checking in on how you have been, reviewing any key events since our last session, and agreeing on a clear focus for that day.
Together, we look at the links between your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviours to identify and change unhelpful cycles I integrate psychoeducation, practical coping strategies, and reflection, so you leave sessions with both understanding and practical tools you can use in daily life. Where helpful, we may agree on between-session tasks (such as reflections, experiments, or new habits) that support your progress without overwhelming you.
How I Use CBT in Our Work
CBT is one of the core approaches I use, alongside solution-focused and trauma-informed methods. I draw on CBT to help you understand how patterns of thinking and behaviour maintain issues such as addiction, anxiety, or low mood, and how these can be shifted. At the same time, I integrate emotional depth, psychoeducation, and a strong focus on safety.
For clients dealing with trauma or long-standing difficulties, I use CBT techniques in a way that is paced, compassionate, and informed by how the mind and body respond to stress. This integrated approach means we can stay practical and goal-oriented while still referencing your unique history, identity, and strengths.
This approach may be especially helpful if you:
CBT with me is particularly suited for people who value practical tools, clear structure, and a collaborative, non-judgmental space.
It is well-matched to younger adults navigating addiction recovery, the impact of trauma, or patterns of stress, anxiety, and low motivation that keep getting in the way of life.
It can be especially helpful if you are motivated to understand how your mind works, are open to learning new skills, and are willing to experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions.
Many of my clients are also drawn to the combination of science and empathy, using evidence-based methods without losing the human, relational side of therapy. If you are looking for online support that offers grounded, research-informed guidance, CBT may be an excellent fit for you.
