Why Is CBT-Informed Therapy Important?

Life challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and persistent negative thinking can feel overwhelming and affect everyday functioning.

At Kind Soul Psych, I offer warm, evidence-based psychotherapy that incorporates CBT-informed techniques and strategies where appropriate to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, as part of a holistic psychotherapy approach tailored to your individual needs. You can read more in my complete guide to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and explore practical cognitive reframing examples. This allows therapy to remain practical, flexible, and responsive rather than rigid or formula-based.

We work together on developing practical coping skills, emotional awareness, and healthier thinking patterns. Individual 50-minute sessions start from £195 (see full therapy fees), following a free 20-minute initial consultation.

Meet Sabbir

Your Therapist at Kind Soul Psych

I’m Sabbir, a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and EMCC-accredited therapeutic coach. For more than twenty years I have worked in NHS mental health services and private practice, supporting people through trauma, anxiety, depression, BPD, addiction and neurodivergence.

I trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and completed CBT training at King’s College London, with further work in DBT and family and systemic therapy. That clinical depth sits underneath everything, whether we are doing therapy or coaching.

My own path shapes how I work. I came to London as a young immigrant and trained while raising a son newly diagnosed with autism. Holding hope when others doubt you is something I understand first-hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that looks at how your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviours connect and keep difficult patterns going. Working with me as a UKCP-registered psychotherapist trained in CBT at King’s College London, we map the cycles behind anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, or overwhelm and test practical strategies you can use in daily life. You can also read my complete guide to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

CBT-informed psychotherapy suits people who want a warm, collaborative space paired with clear structure and practical tools. It is particularly helpful for persistent worry, panic, low mood, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and unhelpful thinking habits. Every new enquiry starts with a free 20-minute initial consultation so we can talk through what is going on and decide together whether this approach fits your needs.

The clinical approach, structure, and depth of work are the same whether we meet in person or online. Face-to-face sessions take place in my consulting rooms at 96 Harley Street (W1G 7HY) and 335 City Road in Angel (EC1V 1LJ), offering a quiet room away from home and work. Online CBT sessions take place by secure video across the UK, and many clients combine both formats when travel or schedules change.

Many clients notice meaningful shifts within 8 to 16 weekly sessions for focused difficulties, while deeper or longer-standing patterns can take longer. We review progress regularly so you are never locked into open-ended therapy. Individual 50-minute CBT sessions start from £195 (see my therapy fees page), beginning with a free 20-minute initial consultation.

Following your free 20-minute initial consultation, our first full 50-minute session focuses on understanding what brought you to therapy now, your personal history, and what you would like to change. Rather than rushing straight into worksheets, we map how your thoughts, emotions, and responses interact and agree clear, realistic goals at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Practising what we discuss between sessions is one of the main reasons CBT leads to lasting change, whether that involves noticing a thought trigger, testing a small behavioural experiment, or practising cognitive reframing in real situations. Any between-session reflection is agreed together and shaped around your real week and energy levels, never handed down as rigid schoolwork.
