WelcomeMy name is Becky Baichoo and I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in Christchurch and online. I have worked in Mental Health for over 20 years and have several years experience of delivering CBT and I’m also a qualified Mental Health Nurse.I work with people affected by a range of mental health conditions and I am passionate about helping people gain control of their lives and empowering them to move forward.CBT takes a collaborative approach meaning we work together to reach your goals. It is evidence based and time-limited, so we have regular meetings to check in and make sure the therapy is working for you. Simply put, CBT looks at the way you think and how this connects to your emotions, symptoms and behaviours. Working together we will look at strategies that can change unhelpful ways of thinking and unhelpful behaviours, giving you strategies to become your own therapist.Alongside this, you may want to offload and talk about current stressors and look at strategies for any current problems.I understand making the first step to approach someone to help you can be very daunting. I always feel privileged when people contact me for therapy sessions and I will always aim to put you at ease by being down to earth but professional.

ONLINE SESSIONSMy practice ran online or via phone session's during Covid 19 lockdowns. I still have many clients that choose to work online as they are either not living in Christchurch or just find it easier. I use a secure online service and the sessions still run well, just via the internet. I ran phone sessions through the Christchurch E.Q’s and all ready did online sessions pre 2020 with clients outside of Christchurch. Some clients are apprehensive about starting therapy online but have been pleasantly surprised how well it has worked and have been happy with the sessions. Some clients do a mixture of face to face and online depending on how busy their week is.
