Get in touch with Onebright
Simply complete one of our contact forms. Or, if you’d like to talk through why you feel you need support, you can call us on 020 3148 7782. One of our clinical liaison team will be able to answer any immediate questions you have.
We’ll then match you with the right clinician for your needs. We’ll set up your first appointment, at a time that works well for you.
Meet your therapist
At the end of your initial assessment, your therapist will talk to you about your treatment plan: how it will work, what to expect and how long it may take. They will identify the issues you’re struggling with and set some targets for getting to a positive end-point.
Your treatment will be based on practice in psychological therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Counselling and/or Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). Once you have a full picture of how your therapy sessions will work, you can decide if it’s for you.
Agree your ideal plan
If your answer to therapy is ‘yes’, we’ll organise a treatment schedule that’s designed for your needs, at times that suit you. If you and your therapist agree that psychological therapy isn’t the right approach, we’ll take the time to discuss why, and suggest an alternative.

Signs that you may need support
We're here to answer your questions
Quality Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) stands out from other forms of therapy or types of counselling because of the emphasis on evidence-based practice. For our clients, this means that they are receiving quality conventional professional therapy based on the very latest research.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a way of helping people to cope with stress and emotional problems. It helps us to look at the connections between how we think, how we feel and how we behave. It particularly concentrates on ideas that are unrealistic. These often undermine our self-confidence and make us feel depressed or anxious. Looking at these unrealistic ideas can help us work out different ways of thinking and behaving that in turn will help us cope better. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how problems from the past are maintained in the “here and now”. It helps people to learn new methods of coping and problem-solving, which they can use for the rest of their lives.
Both in-person and online therapy has high levels of governance and supervision that you would expect of any BABCP accredited therapist. This means you can be sure that your treatment will be effective and appropriate for you.
Cognitive behavioural therapy has clear evidence of efficacy for the following:
Depression
Panic Disorder
Agoraphobia
Generalised anxiety disorder
Specific phobias
Social phobia
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Bulimia
Personality disorders
Habit disorders
Pain
Chronic fatigue
With problems where research is limited, cognitive behavioural therapy still comes as the modality with the best evidence. For example with:
Schizophrenia
Bipolar affective disorders
Hypertension
Low-self esteem
Sex therapy
Nightmares
Gambling
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) the public agency that directs the NHS on best practice continuously recommends cognitive behavioural therapy for the treatments they produce guidance on.
Some of our therapists hold dual positions with Onebright and senior positions in the NHS or academic institutions. Positions in the NHS or academia involve managing or coordinating specialist cognitive behavioural therapy services.
An accredited cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist will have had training as a qualified registered healthcare professional before undertaking advanced cognitive behavioural psychotherapy training. So we have competently trained practitioners, providing reassurance that your well-being is in the hands of accredited and registered professionals.
Both in-person and online CBT therapy has high levels of governance and supervision that you would expect of any BABCP accredited therapist. This means you can be sure that your treatment will be effective and appropriate for you.
