CBT Therapy for professionals- Newcastle upon Tyne and online

CBT Therapy for busy professionals who feel overwhelmed, anxious or Stuck

You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feel exhausted from overthinking, pressure, self doubt and trying to hold everything together.

I help high-achieving professionals understand what's keeping anxiety, self-doubt, and exhaustion going — and change it in a way that actually lasts.

Does any of this sound familiar...

Replaying conversations long after they've ended
Unable to switch off from work
Holding yourself to impossible standards
Feeling like a fraud, despite your success
Calm on the outside, overwhelmed inside
Second-guessing every decision you make
Exhausted but unable to slow down
Successful on paper, but not feeling good enough

If this sounds like you, you're not alone — and you don't have to keep managing it by yourself.

What Therapy Looks Like

I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — a structured, evidence-based approach recommended by NICE — to help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck and change them in a practical, lasting way.

This isn't about being told to think positive or handed a list of breathing exercises. It's about genuinely understanding what's going on and doing something about it. I'm warm and curious, but I'll also ask the questions you've been avoiding and gently challenge the stories you've been telling yourself.

What others have said

"I can honestly say (confirmed by friends and family) that I feel much more in control, understand what triggers my anxiety, am sleeping better and suffer from anxiety far less. Can't recommend her enough." — therapy client, anxiety & overthinking

"Amanda helped me understand my thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a way I never had before, giving me practical tools I now use in everyday life. The difference this has made to me is huge. I feel like I'm starting to live life again." — therapy client

"This for me has been life changing. I couldn't recommend working with Amanda more." — therapy client

ABOUT AMANDA

Someone who understands both the clinical picture and the professional pressures behind it.

I'm Amanda Hodgson, a BABCP accredited CBT Therapist and HCPC registered Occupational Therapist. Before setting up Clear Minds CBT, I spent almost 20 years working across NHS, corporate, and private practice settings, including senior clinical leadership roles.

I know what it feels like to be the capable one , the person others rely on , while quietly running on empty. That experience shapes how I work. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a gently challenging approach that takes you seriously enough to be honest with you.

About Me

How We Work Together

Practical, structured support at a pace that works for you

CBT is a collaborative, evidence-based approach that helps you understand the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours keeping you stuck — and change them in a way that lasts. Sessions are focused and practical, not just talking things through.

You can access therapy face to face in Gosforth, Newcastle (close to the metro, with onsite parking) or online via secure video, whichever suits your schedule. A free consultation is available if you'd like to talk things through before committing.
