About Neil
Neil Cochrane is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing and common mental health concerns. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and relationship strain. He also helps with workplace pressure, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Neil works in a straightforward, non-judgemental way to create a space where people can speak openly.
Neil is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has four years of counselling experience and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, commonly called CBT, as a core approach. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and aims to test and shift unhelpful patterns.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Neil helps people identify goals and tries out small changes between sessions. Conversations can include thought records, behavioural experiments and planning tasks that fit into daily life.
He pays attention to what the person prefers and adapts the work accordingly. Building trust and remaining non-judgemental are central to his style. This makes it easier to tackle difficult topics like trauma, guilt, shame and compassion fatigue.
For people juggling jobs, relationships or parenting, Neil aims to find realistic ways to reduce overwhelm. If you are thinking about therapy, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and then booking a session that suits your schedule.
How CBT can work online and what to expect
Neil uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT helps by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. The counsellor will help you decide which techniques to try and adapt them to your situation and preferences. Together you will choose the pace and tasks that feel achievable between sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins where needed. It can also offer flexibility around timing so sessions can sit alongside work or family commitments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will help you tailor methods to your goals. If you would like to discuss how this way of working might fit your life, mention that when you complete the matching questionnaire.
