About Neil
Neil Cochrane is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and workplace issues. He also supports people coping with depression, grief, trauma and relationship or intimacy concerns. He is a BACP member and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of his work.
Neil aims to build trust and keep an open, non-judgmental stance in sessions. He works with each person's preferences and pace, and shapes conversations around what matters to them. That means practical conversations about thoughts, feelings and everyday routines rather than abstract theory.
In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of behaving. He combines this with other helpful techniques chosen to suit each person. The focus is on clear steps people can try between sessions to make small changes at work and at home.
Neil has four years of counselling experience and practises in the United Kingdom. He often supports people dealing with workplace stress, compassion fatigue, codependency or issues common in young adults and men. He does not work with international clients.
People who come to him can expect straightforward language and practical ideas. He encourages questions and works collaboratively to set goals. Before booking, confirm the current session formats on the platform so arrangements match your needs.
How CBT and collaborative planning work online
Neil uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change responses. CBT is practical and problem-focused, so it often suits stress, anxiety, mood changes and workplace difficulties. He also adapts CBT with other techniques based on a person's needs and preferences. That means sessions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, and the therapist and client decide together what to try next. Finding the right way of working is part of the process. He will discuss goals, what has helped before and what feels manageable now. Together the client and therapist plan practical steps and check how those steps worked at the next meeting. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let someone join from a quieter room or avoid being on camera if they prefer less visual contact. Registered or accredited professionals will explain format choices and help find an arrangement that suits everyday life and work commitments.Areas of expertise
