finding a recommended cbt psychotherapist

[rainy454]

:hugs: Hiya everyone,

I am suffering from anxiety and phobia symptoms since recovering from cancer and I wonder if someone would know either the best way to find a good cognitive behavioural therapist (one that is recommended).I live in the staffordshire area and my doctor could not recommend a good psychotherapist and I wondered if there are other ways of finding one that is effective.I have looked on the internet and that gives you advice but obviously no actual names.

I would be really grateful if someone could help me with this as I feel I can no longer deal with these feelings on my own and I really need professional help and I would like to see someone who could help me through this and not make me any worse.The key is to feel safe with the psychotherapist which I suppose goes without saying.

All my very best regards to everyone

Hi again

Sorry perhaps i should have said that the link i gave you is for the CBT register for the UK where you can find details of all the officially accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapists.

I myself found a great therapist through using this link.
Good luck. :hugs:
