About Neil
Neil Cochrane helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, depression and workplace strain. He also supports those facing relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, and parenting pressures. Neil works with young adult issues, codependency, guilt and shame, men's issues, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.
Neil is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.
Background and approach
He has four years of counselling experience and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often blended with the client’s preferences. He aims to be non-judgemental and to build trust from the first session. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking.
Neil helps people spot unhelpful patterns, test different behaviours and develop coping strategies that fit daily life. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making small, manageable changes. He values collaboration and checks in about what is working as therapy progresses.
People are invited to shape their sessions so therapy stays relevant to their goals. Progress is reviewed openly and adjusted where needed. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire.
Scheduling then follows according to the therapist’s availability and the platform’s process.

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.
How Neil works online
Neil also uses an integrative approach that adapts CBT techniques to each person’s preferences, so sessions can include problem-solving, behavioural experiments and practical coping tools. This mix aims to make therapy relevant to everyday routines and the challenges a person brings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Neil will discuss goals and try different techniques together to see what fits best. He treats therapy as a collaborative process and checks progress regularly so methods can be adjusted if needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, study and family life and can reduce time spent travelling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day or conversations that focus on homework and practical tasks between sessions.
