Frank Baker
I'm a cognitive behavioural therapist and I work from my private practice in Hammersmith, West London and Islington, North London. In the CBT sessions I like to create a welcoming and informal environment in which you will feel comfortable to speak about the problems that you may be facing. Once these problems have been identified, we can then agree on the appropriate CBT techniques to help you manage and overcome these difficulties. My therapeutic approach is purely with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I offer a confidential service to adults aged 18 and over, who may be experiencing any of the following problems:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a short-term therapy that focuses on the way our thoughts influence our behaviours and our moods. During therapy you will learn to identify and understand the unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that maintain your difficulties and by using CBT techniques and interventions you will begin to make the relevant changes that will help you to achieve your desired goals. Once therapy is finished the benefits are ongoing and this is partly due to the educational aspect of CBT. During treatment you will learn to acquire the skills that you can use throughout your life without the future help of any therapist. There has been extensive research into CBT and there is overwhelming evidence it is a highly effective therapy. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends CBT as the preferred form of treatment for anxiety and depression. For more detailed information about CBT please
