Christian CBT Therapy
Evidence-based, Faith-integrated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offered online throughout the UK
Does this sound familiar?
You may recognise some of these experiences:
• You find yourself worrying constantly and struggle to switch your mind off.
• Struggling to align your daily life with your values and faith
• You replay conversations or imagine worst-case scenarios.
• You avoid situations because they feel overwhelming.
• You feel physically tense, restless or on edge.
• Your anxiety or low mood is affecting your sleep, work or relationships.
• Experiencing doubt or guilt alongside your low mood or anxiety.
• Battling with thoughts that ‘If I’m a Christian, I shouldn’t be feeling this way’.
Living with anxiety or low mood can be exhausting. The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable, and CBT is one of the most effective psychological therapies available.
How CBT Can Help
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps you understand the patterns that keep anxiety and low mood going.
Together we'll identify unhelpful cycles of thoughts, emotions and behaviours, then develop practical strategies to help you respond differently.
Rather than simply talking about problems, CBT focuses on helping you make meaningful changes between sessions through personalised techniques and gentle experiments.
Many clients notice improvements in:
excessive worrying
mood
confidence
panic symptoms
overthinking
sleep
everyday resilience
Why Work With Me?
I'm Rebecca Hitchcock, a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist providing online therapy throughout the UK.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable Christians who are carrying more than feels sustainable. Outwardly they often appear to be coping well, but inwardly they're exhausted by constant overthinking, hidden struggles or the pressure of trying to hold everything together.
My aim isn't simply to reduce symptoms. Together we'll work towards helping you feel calmer, think more clearly and move forward in a way that reflects what matters most to you.
Many Christians find it helpful to explore how their faith and Biblical truths can support the CBT process. Therapy is always tailored to your individual circumstances and delivered in a calm, collaborative and compassionate way.

How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies from person to person and depends on your goals and the difficulties you're experiencing.
During our initial sessions we'll develop a shared understanding of what is maintaining your anxiety and agree a treatment plan together. Some people benefit from a relatively brief course of CBT, while others choose to continue for longer to consolidate change.
I've never had online therapy before. Does it work?
Many people are surprised by how natural online therapy feels. Sessions take place via a secure video platform from the comfort of your own home, and research shows that online CBT can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy for many anxiety difficulties.
All you need is a private space and a reliable internet connection.
