About Me
 

Hello! My name is Michael and I'm the founder of the Virtual CBT Clinic. I am a Psychotherapist, having completed a post-graduate diploma in Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapies at the University of Chester. For the past 6 years, I have worked in Primary Care Talking Therapies services within the NHS, supporting clients with mild, moderate, and severe mental health problems. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I can treat the following conditions and disorders: Major Depressive Disorder; Perfectionism; Self-Esteem; Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD); Hoarding Disorder; Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD); Social Anxiety Disorder; Health Anxiety Disorder; Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD); Panic Disorder; Specific Phobia; Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); and more. So, if you are feeling low, lacking in motivation, are self-critical, engage in ritualistic behaviours, struggle with social interactions, have a lot of worries, or relive traumatic experiences, I can help you.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists (BABCP) and adhere to their standards of conduct, performance and ethics. This means that I will act in the best interests of my clients; maintain high standards of assessment and practice; and behave with honesty and integrity. You can find me on the CBT Register by following this link and typing my surname (Donald) in to the search bar. I also hold Professional Indemnity Insurance with Balens, which can be viewed upon request.

I am passionate about providing safe, evidence-based treatments for my clients. So, If you feel ready to overcome your difficulties and reclaim your life, get in-touch today. I offer a free 20 minute consultation to discuss your needs and explore whether it is something I can help with.
