About Neil
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 4 years of experience, Neil Cochrane supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and work-related problems. He also focuses on issues such as codependency, guilt and shame, men's issues, young adult difficulties, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Neil uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a core method and adapts sessions to the individual's preferences. He aims to build trust and keep a non-judgemental stance so people can speak openly about difficult topics. Sessions are practical and centred on clear steps the person can try between meetings.
In practice he helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then test different ways of thinking and acting. That work can reduce intense reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. He also discusses how workplace pressures, caring roles, or relationship patterns feed into stress and low mood.
Neil has four years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works in English and does not accept international clients at this time. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered.
To begin, people typically complete a brief questionnaire to match with his profile and then arrange a first session. The approach is collaborative and geared towards practical skills alongside reflective discussion.

How CBT is used in online sessions and what to expect
Neil bases his work on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, testing them, and practising alternative ways of thinking or acting. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, anger, sleep and eating difficulties, and workplace-related problems.He also describes an integrative approach, which means combining CBT techniques with what a person prefers in session. That might involve problem-solving, behavioural experiments, or structured worksheets alongside reflective conversation. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative process shaped by the client's goals and day-to-day life.
Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule and support regular check-ins without travel. If you plan to try online work, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for shorter catch-ups, focused skill practice, or reducing time spent travelling. The therapist will discuss how to structure remote appointments so they align with the client’s needs and practical constraints.
