An accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) in treating depression, anxiety disorders and trauma in adults and children. https://www.cbtandtherapyhub.co.uk

About Me

Feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or trauma? This psychotherapist equips adults and children with practical ways to cope. As an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, they help you understand and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Sessions offer a clear, structured space to build resilience and develop effective tools for daily life. This approach is ideal for those seeking evidence-based support to navigate challenges and find lasting calm.

Approach

A structured, goal-focused approach guides how therapy unfolds. I offer appointments in Birmingham and online, working in English and Punjabi, with pacing adjusted for adults, adolescents and children. Sessions blend brief, practical experiments, collaborative thought‑work and small behavioural steps, with clear review and simple between-session tasks to consolidate progress. This way of working tends to suit people who want predictable, hands-on tools to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and rebuild confidence after trauma.
