Yohan Bhairo

Professional Profile

I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist working with adults experiencing anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma-related difficulties, depression, stress and burnout.

My approach is structured, formulation-led and grounded in NICE-recommended interventions. I place strong emphasis on collaborative goal setting and measurable outcomes, ensuring therapy is focused, purposeful and responsive to change. Alongside CBT, I integrate EMDR where trauma memories maintain present difficulties, and I utilise DBT skills to support emotion regulation when required. I also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused approaches to address avoidance, self-criticism and entrenched patterns that may interfere with progress.

Clients often describe my style as warm, clear and pragmatic. I aim to create a therapeutic space that balances psychological understanding with practical strategies, helping clients build skills they can sustain beyond therapy.

I have experience across NHS and private settings and am comfortable working with both straightforward and more complex presentations. My focus remains on delivering evidence-based, ethical and effective treatment tailored to the individual.

I abide by the professional and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.
