About Neil
Neil Cochrane is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. He works with a wide range of concerns including anger, self-esteem, career worries, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, grief and issues around intimacy. He aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed.
He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings four years of practice experience. Neil uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and he adapts conversations to fit each person's preferences and needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what helps you make small, manageable changes. Neil’s approach is calm and non-judgemental. He focuses on building trust so people can speak openly about what’s troubling them.
In sessions he listens, asks questions and suggests simple exercises to try between meetings. He supports people working through workplace stress, codependency, guilt and shame, men’s issues and concerns common in young adulthood. Practical everyday strategies for sleep, eating and coping with life changes are common topics he covers.
People can expect a straightforward, collaborative style that blends talking with practical tools. The emphasis is on clear steps people can use outside sessions to feel steadier and more able to manage daily pressures.

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
The work is collaborative. The therapist and client agree goals, try techniques in sessions and review what helps. If CBT seems less suitable at first, he will adapt the approach to fit the person's needs and preferences rather than insisting on a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support or when writing feels easier than speaking.
These online options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to keep working on goals between sessions. Registered professionals can use the different formats to match the pace and style each person prefers, helping therapy remain practical and accessible.
