About Neil
Neil Cochrane is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. He supports people facing career pressures, relationship strain, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also works with issues around sleep, eating, parenting and compassion fatigue.
Neil is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has four years of counselling experience and uses that time to shape straightforward, practical sessions.
Background and approach
He prefers a down-to-earth style that focuses on what a person wants to change right now. Sessions are collaborative and built around the client's preferences. He aims to be non-judgemental and to create a space where people can speak honestly about hard things.
That approach helps people look at patterns and try different ways of responding. Neil draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which means talking about the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. He blends that with ideas from other approaches when it fits the person's goals.
The emphasis is on small, manageable steps that can ease day-to-day life. Practical tools and gentle challenge are offered, not lectures. People can expect clear suggestions to try between sessions and chances to reflect on what did and didn't help.
The aim is steady progress toward better coping and clearer choices.

Approaches Neil lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Neil combines CBT ideas with conversational work that helps people set realistic goals. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process and the therapist will help select methods that match your needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can fit into a busy day and work for brief reflections or ongoing support between sessions.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family life. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can offer structured CBT techniques and practical homework even when sessions are not in person.
