A personal CBT programme — £950 for 10 appointments
If work pressure, perfectionism, people-pleasing or self-doubt are taking up too much of your life, this programme offers time to understand the patterns and practise different ways of responding.
Thriving at Work includes ten 50-minute appointments: one initial assessment, eight CBT sessions and one separate mid-programme review.
We’ll first consider whether the programme is suitable for your difficulties and goals. The themes below are a guide; the focus and pace will be agreed together rather than treated as a fixed route to recovery.
Available online or face-to-face in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne. You can also choose standard individual CBT at £90 for 50 minutes if a package is not right for you.
Themes for the eight CBT sessions
Each session builds on the last, moving from understanding your patterns to actively changing them.
Session 1 – Understanding the Cycle Identifying the perfectionism–worry–self-doubt loop and how it shows up in your work and life.
Session 2 – What Drives You? Exploring core beliefs around achievement, approval, and worth. Uncovering the hidden "rules for living" that keep you stuck.
Session 3 – Challenging the Inner Critic Spotting self-critical thoughts and learning to respond differently — so they have less power over you.
Session 4 – Managing Worry & Overthinking Tools to reduce rumination and break the spiral. Moving from threat mode into clear-headed problem-solving.
— Performance & Wellbeing Review — A structured mid-programme check-in. See below for details.
Session 5 – Letting Go of People-Pleasing Understanding why you over-accommodate others — and learning to set boundaries without guilt or fallout.
Session 6 – Embracing Imperfection Reframing mistakes and "not good enough" moments so they build resilience rather than erode confidence.
Session 7 – Building Self-Worth From Within Practical ways to value yourself beyond performance, productivity, or what others think of you.
Session 8 – Thriving Without the Pressure Bringing it all together — your personal toolkit and action plan for lasting, sustainable change.
The Performance & Wellbeing Review
The separate mid-programme review is a chance to consider what is helping, what remains difficult and whether the plan needs adjusting. We’ll review your goals, symptoms and day-to-day experience together.
What’s included — £950 in total
Ten appointments, each lasting 50 minutes:
- One initial assessment to explore your difficulties, goals and suitability for the programme.
- Eight individual CBT sessions, tailored to the patterns and goals we agree.
- One separate mid-programme wellbeing review.
The package also includes:
- Bitesize presentation recordings to revisit between sessions.
- A personalised plan for maintaining progress and responding to setbacks.
- A written summary of your learning, progress and agreed strategies.
- A 30-minute follow-up call after the programme, in addition to the ten appointments.
The package includes these additional resources and follow-up support; it is not a discounted block of standard £90 sessions. We can discuss whether the package or individual sessions best suits your needs.
How we’ll work
CBT helps us explore links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and practise different responses. We’ll agree manageable steps between appointments and review how they work for you. The pace of change varies and no particular outcome is guaranteed.
