Services | Celine Ruud Cbt

My Services

I offer online and face-to-face Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. My private working day is Monday. I offer sessions between 8am and 8pm.

Intro Call

(Free)

A 15 minute initial phone call is offered free of charge. This allows us to see if we think we could work together and if CBT feels like a suitable fit. There is no obligation to book in for an assessment after this call, but if it feels right you would then be welcome to book in for an online or in-person assessment.

Online CBT Therapy

(£90)

Online CBT appointments will be offered using a confidential video platform. This allows you to access therapy from the comfort of your own home, and also means that we are able to offer our services UK-wide.

In-Person CBT Therapy

(£110)

Face-to-face therapy sessions are are offered at one of two convenient central London locations: Nassau Street (Fitzrovia) or Birkenhead Street (King's Cross). Both locations offer beautifully converted talking therapy rooms in old town houses. Rooms are soundproofed for your privacy, and there is a waiting area available.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

CBT is an evidence-based therapy which looks at understanding how our thoughts, feelings, behaviours and bodily symptoms all play a role in influencing each other. It is a collaborative, practical and goal-focussed therapy which aims to initially help you gain a better understanding of how your problems may have developed and what keeps them going. Through weekly sessions and home-practice, you will be working to break old patterns and improve symptoms of low mood and anxiety.

What to expect

1 /Intro Call

The intro call is a short discussion allowing you to briefly tell me what you are struggling with and what you are looking for help with. I will tell you more about how I work and how I might be able to help. You decide in your own time if you would like to go ahead and book in for a full assessment.

2 / CBT Assessment

An assessment will usually last over 1-2 sessions. This phase consists of me getting a fuller understanding of your difficulties and how they are showing up in your present. I will also ask about any relevant history. At the end of the assessment phase, I will be able to outline clearly whether I think my CBT approach will be helpful and how we may work together according to your goals.

3 / Treatment Phase

CBT Treatment includes weekly sessions and lasts anywhere between 8-20 sessions, usually averaging around 12. After gaining a shared understanding of what thinking or behavioural patterns might be keeping you stuck, we will begin implementing a variety of techniques to break out of these cycles. This will included practicing outside of our sessions.

3 / Blueprint/Relapse Management

Towards the end of our sessions, we will be reflecting on what you have taken away from therapy and how you can take these skills forward in your day-to-day life. We will think about how to troubleshoot future difficulties.
