Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Bristol, UK.
Support for you when you need it, working together, towards what is important to you.
I set up Spero CBT, to improve access to evidence based support that works, delivered by experienced and accredited clinicians.
I believe in the power of nurture, collaboration, and hope, to guide you through life's challenges. Specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I can support children, adolescents, and adults in Bristol to overcome anxiety, depression, phobia, OCD, trauma and more to achieve your goals.
Join us on a journey towards lasting change.
CBT often helps to identify and modify unhelpful, re-occurring behavioural and thought cycles that result in often unwanted emotions and feelings.
There are many ways to find more effective and more helpful ways to think, feel and live life.
Why Spero CBT Therapy?
I offer a range of specialised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy treatment plans tailored to meet your individual needs. My approach is focussed on understanding and responding to what you require, providing effective and practical solutions for children, adolescents, and adults.
CBT is evidence based therapy and is recommended via NICE guidelines for many different struggles and issues.
Spero means Hope in Latin and I believe that CBT offers hope for change and for you to achieve your goals.
I am accredited by the BABCP so you know its high quality therapy you are receiving.

CBT for children
I provide gentle and effective CBT tailored for young minds, helping children navigate anxiety, worries, and emotional difficulties in a supportive environment. The hope is to equip them with tools for resilience and well-being. I am experienced with working with those finding school difficult as well as friendships and confidence struggles. I welcome those that are neurodiverse or exploring unique experiences in life.
CBT for adolescents
Adolescence can be a challenging time. My CBT sessions help teenagers manage stress, anxiety, and self-esteem issues, fostering healthy coping mechanisms and promoting personal growth and confidence. I am experienced with working along side neurodiversity and the struggles that this can sometimes present as you navigate the teenage developing world around you.
CBT for adults
I offer evidence-based CBT to adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, and other life difficulties. My collaborative approach empowers you to understand and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, and to navigate trying new ways to life life.
Collaborative approach
My therapeutic relationship is built on nurture and collaboration. I work alongside you to set and achieve your goals, ensuring a supportive and understanding journey towards positive change.
