All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

Hello! I'm a accredited therapist based in Bath, specialising in CBT. Thank you for visiting my site. Unfortunately at the moment I am not taking on any therapy clients while I take a break to pursue a new project which I’m sure I’ll reveal here in good time.
I specialise in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and work as an integrative cognitive behavioural therapist in Bath, drawing on a variety of CBT methods such as Cognitive Therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), as well as more recent CBT developments such as Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (often referred to as ACT).
I am qualified to teach the Mindfulness Now 8 week mindfulness programme and I’m delighted to be able to offer this in small groups or if you prefer one-to-one. The Mindfulness Now programme is a complete start-up for anyone wanting to discover the benefits of mindfulness, and includes a variety of strategies as well as a sprinkling of ideas from cognitive therapy to help you to become more aware of your mind and manage your wellbeing. See the Mindfulness tab above for more about Mindfulness. If you’d like more information about the 8 week programme, please get in touch and I will supply details.
Feel free to get in touch to discuss how CBT can help you by emailing me at info@alibinns.co.uk
