CBT for Professionals

Expert CBT for high-performing professionals

Private video sessions from wherever you work. Evidence-based therapy from a BABCP-accredited specialist and university Senior Lecturer in CBT.

No commitment. No jargon. Just a conversation about what's going on.

You're successful. So why doesn't it feel like it?

You've built something impressive — a career, a business, a reputation. From the outside, everything looks fine. More than fine.

But privately? The anxiety hasn't got the memo. The overthinking runs on a loop. The exhaustion goes deeper than a holiday can fix. And somewhere along the way, the confidence you project started feeling like a performance.

You're not broken. You're a high-functioning person carrying patterns that once served you — and now they don't.

That's exactly what CBT is built to change.

Why this practice

CBT from someone who teaches it at university level

Elliot Rose headshot Elliot Rose — BABCP-Accredited CBT Therapist & Senior Lecturer

I don't just practise therapy — I train the next generation of therapists. I teach the theory, scrutinise the research, and know what actually works (and what's just noise dressed up as science).

That academic rigour shapes every session. You'll get therapy grounded in the strongest evidence base in psychotherapy — delivered by someone who understands the pressures of professional life.

This isn't generic counselling. It's specialist CBT from someone who lives and breathes the discipline.

Who I work with

Built for people who don't do things by halves

My clients tend to be professionals, business owners, and entrepreneurs — people who are used to performing at a high level and expect the same from their therapist.

  • Executives and senior managers navigating pressure, politics, and the loneliness of leadership
  • Business owners and entrepreneurs carrying everything on their shoulders
  • Lawyers, doctors, and accountants in high-stakes, high-scrutiny environments
  • Academics and creatives battling perfectionism and self-doubt
  • Anyone who's ready to do the work and wants a therapist with genuine expertise

You don't need to be in a crisis to start therapy. Some of my most productive work happens with people who are functioning well but know they could feel significantly better.

Evidence-based change you can actually feel

How it works

Three steps. No waiting rooms.

1. Free exploratory call (15 minutes)

We talk. You tell me what's going on. I tell you honestly whether I can help — and if I can't, I'll point you to someone who can.

2. Comprehensive assessment (90 minutes)

A thorough, structured assessment using validated clinical measures. Not a vague chat — a proper formulation of what's maintaining your difficulties and what needs to change.

3. Your tailored programme

Weekly 50-minute video sessions, structured around the evidence base for your specific difficulty. Outcome measures tracked throughout so we can see — objectively — that things are shifting.

Online by design

Online isn't a compromise. It's the point.

Every session is delivered via secure, encrypted video. Not because of a pandemic hangover — because this is how therapy works best for busy professionals.

No commute

Session from your home office, your car, your hotel room.

No waiting room encounters

Complete privacy. No one sees you enter a building with "Therapy" on the door.

No geographic limit

I work with clients across the UK and internationally.

Fits your schedule

Early morning, lunch break, or evening — because your diary is already full enough.

I teach CBT at university level, training the next generation of therapists. I don't just use the tools — I understand why they work.

20

20+ years clinical experience

NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), university settings, and private practice.

OM
