Cognitive Therapy Derby 1 Vernon Street, Derby DE1 1FR

"If you asked me several months ago i would of never thought i would feel any better then i did, I went through a big change in life with getting divorced! anxiety, depression and worry all hit me out of no where after some time with a lot of bodily sensations and panic attacks. The doctors after calling them they prescribed me medication but i knew i needed professional help rather then tablets so i did some research and got recommended Mike and his company. After a few sessions i improved so much and never had to take any tablets, Mike found the problem and helped me work out how to fix it and although i'm still going i am on the right path to recovery and able to enjoy life again and concentrate on my business! I recommend Mike to anyone suffering. Thanks again for all your help mate!"

"I have seen Michael for a couple of months now, and all I can say is that he is amazing! Michael has vast experience where he has been a mental health nurse and has ran the crisis team in Derby. This experience honestly shows through in his work, as he is able to give you ample factual information and techniques that work. It is also refreshing to talk to someone who understand exactly what you are saying and can describe exactly why and how your brain is working in such a way. This was immensely helpful for me with my struggles with OCD and anxiety. Michael is also the least judgmental person and this was especially useful for me as someone who deals with intrusive thoughts. He is also really funny and will help you see your mental health in a positive light."

"After 5 months of online talking therapy (which was only making things worse), I booked in with Michael for CBT. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Michael is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, personable and funny, and has equipped me with useful skills to tackle my panic and anxiety. I’ve made more progress in 4 sessions with him than I could have imagined. I’d give him 20 stars if I could. If you’re thinking of giving CBT a go, don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. Highly recommended :)"

"Called up this company to ask about services they provide and appointments. I was instantly told that this is not a free service, I explained I never asked for free, I work so happy to pay. I then asked about consultation, was told it's a quick 10 min phone chat as they are so busy, this also includes a charge. The guy on the phone was quite rude and huffed and puffed, Perfectly fine if this is how you run your services. Some advice for next - Please be mindful it takes a lot for someone to pick up the phone to reach out for help, so maybe be less judgemental on the phone next time."

"I've had multiple therapists over the last 5 years and by far Michael has been the most useful one. He's sharp, funny and has a lot of knowledge. I have struggled with depression for as long as I can remember, and after Michael's no-nonsense and supportive therapy, I feel much much better. Thank you."
