The 3 best CBT therapists in Leeds

CBT and couples therapy are provided by Luke Stableford CBT & Couples Therapy for people seeking structured support with mental health, relationships or specific difficulties such as anxiety, panic attacks and OCD. The practice also works with childhood trauma, using therapy goals to give sessions a clear direction.

Sessions combine guided discussion with practical techniques and resources that clients can continue using between appointments. Appointments are recommended, and therapy may continue beyond an initial 20-week block when further support is wanted.

Dr Kamila Hortynska offers psychological support using clinical psychology, CBT, mindfulness and life coaching approaches. Work can begin with an assessment before sessions, then move into areas such as relationships, work-life balance, personal choices and emotional wellbeing.

The service also includes mindfulness retreats and online nine-week courses, with meditation, reflection and practical exercises forming part of the learning. Weekend retreats provide time away from routine, while Zoom courses suit people who want a regular online structure. Online mindfulness courses and retreats distinguish the wider programme.

Individual, couples and family therapy are available through The Oak Tree Practice - Psychologists, alongside CBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy. The practice also carries out ADHD, autism and cognitive assessments, with psychologists providing feedback sessions and reports as standard.

Sessions can take place in person, remotely or by telephone, and each therapy session lasts 50 minutes. The team works with a range of mental health difficulties and offers support for adults, while children’s ADHD and autism assessments are handled through the sister Little Bee Clinic. Private therapy is available across the UK, with pathways beginning with an appointment or initial consultation.
