Portrait of Cheta, BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist at Cheta Wellness

Starting therapy takes courage. You don’t need to arrive with the right words.

A diagnosis is not required, and a neat explanation is not expected. Our work together is collaborative, structured, and confidential, grounded in what you bring, not what you think you should say.

Areas of focus

A selection of the concerns people most often bring to us. If what you’re carrying isn’t here, please still get in touch. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re a good fit.

  • Anxiety & panic

    For the kind of worry that hijacks sleep, focus, or your sense of control. CBT offers a structured way to loosen its grip, step by step.

Our approach

How CBT helps

CBT is a collaborative, structured approach grounded in decades of research. Each session has shape: we look at what’s happening, what’s keeping it in place, and small experiments you can try between sessions.

It is neither a lecture nor a drift: it’s a careful, practical way of working that respects you as the expert on your life, while bringing a clinical framework to the patterns that feel harder to shift alone.

Common questions

Answers to what people often ask

How many sessions will I need?

It varies with what you bring. CBT is generally a short-term therapy, and many people begin to make progress within six to twelve sessions. Longer-term therapy is offered where it is more appropriate. After your assessment session, we will agree a recommended number of sessions together, and review it as we go.

Is what I share confidential?

Yes. Sessions are held in confidence, to the standards of our professional body, and we are fully GDPR compliant. The only exception is if there is a serious concern about safety or risk of harm, or where we are legally required to disclose. Wherever possible, this would be discussed with you first.

Do you work online or in person?

Both. Sessions can be held in person at our consulting room in Milton Keynes, or by secure video across the UK. We can combine the two if that works better for your life.

What if I’m not sure CBT is right for me?

That is a very reasonable place to start from. The free initial 15-minute call is designed exactly for this: a no-obligation conversation to explore whether CBT, and working together, seems like the right fit.

How soon can we start?

Availability varies week to week. Once you have been in touch, we will let you know the earliest realistic options, usually within a couple of weeks of the assessment session.
