Why I built Elliot Rose Therapy

I’ve spent the past decade helping people translate evidence-based CBT into everyday life. From NHS services to university training clinics, I repeatedly saw the same need: structured, compassionate programmes that prioritise accountability and results without losing humanity.

As Senior Lecturer in CBT, I train therapists to think critically, deliver measurable change, and stay grounded in their clients’ realities. My private programmes draw on that academic rigour while staying practical and collaborative.

Values

The principles guiding every programme

EB

Evidence with empathy

Research matters, but so does how it lands. Expect sessions rooted in the latest CBT science, delivered with warmth, humour, and clear language.

CL

Collaborative leadership

We make decisions together. My role is to offer structure, insight, and accountability while making space for your lived experience.

RS

Results you can see

Programmes use regular outcome measures, habit tracking, and personal reflections so you can watch progress unfold in real time.

SU

Skills for life

You leave with a toolkit, not just insight. Every programme ends with a personalised, future-focused plan so gains stick long term.

Experience

Clinical background & qualifications

BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist Senior Lecturer in CBT, Buckinghamshire New University Former Clinical Tutor & Supervisor, Charlie Waller Institute

I began my CBT career within NHS Talking Therapies, working as a Senior Psychological Therapist supporting people with moderate to severe anxiety and depression. Alongside direct client work, I led anger management, mindfulness, and psychoeducation groups designed to help people become their own therapist.

At the Charlie Waller Institute (University of Reading) I taught and supervised on the CBT Diploma, helping trainee therapists translate theory into precise, ethical practice. That experience sharpened my ability to spot what makes interventions work—and to explain concepts in a way people can immediately apply.

Today I split my time between teaching future CBT clinicians, developing evidence-based materials, and working with private clients through structured programmes.

  • Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (University of Reading)
  • BWRT therapist, NLP Master Practitioner, Ericksonian hypnotherapist
  • Regularly contributes training to NHS services and professional conferences

Approach

What working together feels like

Structured & adaptive

We follow a clear roadmap—assessment, intervention, consolidation—while adapting pace and focus based on your feedback and data.

Active between sessions

You’ll receive concise, practical experiments or reflections after each meeting, plus email check-ins to keep momentum going.

Transparent progress

Every four sessions we review outcome measures, celebration moments, and any obstacles. If something isn’t working, we adjust quickly.
