My name is Charles and l am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with a Masters in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I am a qualified Social Worker, holding a BA Hons in Social Work and extensive years in the sector. My working experience also includes being a Family orientated Therapist for Children and Families Social Care during that period. I have worked with a range of mental health issues with both adults and children in a CBT environment. I am now the owner and director of Transform Talking Therapy and deliver Cognitive Behavioural Therapy privately with the ethos of keeping those who access my service at the forefront of the work l undertake.
I will undertake an assessment of your individual needs and particular issues to ascertain suitability toward providing appropriate care or signposting to relevant services.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy will be delivered in a comfortable, confidential and safe environment which will support in the care of your needs. Online sessions are also available for those who need them.
Putting You First is an essential prerequisite and maintaining factor to therapy in that not only will l, as a therapist, be aiming to place your needs at a primary position, but you will also be challenged to place your wellbeing, needs, mental health and emotional wellbeing at the forefront of your life.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, is a family of talking therapies, all based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, what we do, and how our bodies feel, are all connected. If we change one of these we can alter all the others.
When we’re low or upset, we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can worsen how we feel. CBT works to help us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns so we can feel better.
CBT is a collaborative therapy - it’s not something that is done to someone, it’s a way of working together with a CBT therapist on mutually agreed goals.

The answer is simple; your growth, your journey and your discovery. These aspects are what matter the most in therapy and are a pivotal element to aspire to. Achieving this requires patience, congruence, genuineness and respect. This is what l will be offering and, alongside effective communication, confidentiality and rapport, l will be aiming to be with you on that journey.
As someone who is of BAME background, l am invested in bringing my practice and the therapeutic aspects of Psychotherapy into these communities as well. This is something l am invested in and due to this, l feel my practice will accept all backgrounds and seek to understand the cultural and religious needs of clients.
I am a certified member of the BABCP(British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies). This means I am regulated and adhere to their professional code and ethical guidelines by upholding good practice in therapy.
