TORDEN CBT
Psychotherapy for Anxiety and Depression
Accredited CBT and Wellbeing Support for Adults, Children and Adolescents.
​
​I am a BABCP accredited CBT Therapist, specialising in Anxiety and Depression, including, OCD, GAD, Panic, Specific Phobia and Depression working with both adults and young people.
​
Our aim is to help people recover and lead fulfilling lives. Enabling you to gain - not only an understanding of your difficulties - but to develop a range of skills to help you overcome these and feel equipped, looking to the future, to overcome any barriers that may come your way – ultimately giving you the tools to become your own therapist.
THERAPY AND WHAT TO EXPECT
At Torden CBT we use CBT and evidence-based interventions to maximise recovery and prevent relapse, and do so by personalising therapy to the needs of the individual.
​
I am a straight forward, open, honest and approachable person.
In our first session I try to focus on getting to know you as a whole person, to help gain a joint understanding of your experiences and how they influence you today.
I will always strive to make you feel at ease and my aim in this first appointment is to help you to identify what your goals would be from therapy and what treatment may be the most beneficial for you given your personal circumstances.

Hi I'm Sarah, I am a highly skilled and BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with extensive experience in helping people recover from a variety of anxiety and depression difficulties, as well as other struggles.

I graduated from Keele University in 2009 in Criminology and Psychology. In 2018, I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at the University of Manchester. Both of these courses are accredited by the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapist (BABCP) and I maintain my accreditation with this service annually which involves partaking in regular supervision, training and ongoing development.
I have extensive experience of working with a variety of Depression and Anxiety difficulties and have special interest and knowledge with OCD, Generalised Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Panic and Specific Phobias.
I am happy to discuss your difficulties and work out together if I can be of any help to you.
TESTIMONIALS
What My Clients Are Saying
"I did online therapy with Torden CBT in June and found out I was experiencing OCD. I am quite an awkward person and had never had therapy before, however Sarah made me feel very at ease and helped me understand what was happening for me, why I was having intrusive thoughts and how to face my problems head on. I feel like I can now breath and I can’t explain how grateful for that I am."

"I enjoyed the sessions as though they were often about serious topics, I felt like I could enjoy myself and not feel suffocated."

"Thank you, I felt like you understood and knew me straight away. The things you’ve showed me are helping me everyday in many situations and with managing many feelings.
​
Being honest I wasn’t sure if therapy could help me or not and thought I may always have to live this way but the things I have learnt about how my mind works has shown me how CBT can make things easier."

I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done for me and helped me get through over the past few months. I appreciate it more than I can explain! You've helped me get through each day when it's been the last thing I want to do and I can't be more thankful for that.

Sarah at Torden CBT has shown me where my anxiety was coming from and what was keeping it going, giving me the tools to face into it rather that be afraid of it. I now know when my body is reacting physically to worry why this is and why it is not a danger to me. I even went on my first plane journey in 10 years!

We never felt judged, and that was massive.
