MSc Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy, PG Dip Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy, BSc (Hons) Psychology

 

 

I'm Alastair, an accredited CBT psychotherapist and the founder of Lightbulb Psychotherapies. My goal is to offer high quality and affordable psychotherapy in Lancashire, Manchester and across the North West.

 

M​y academic journey began with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Manchester and both a PGDip and MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy from the University of Salford.  I am particularly proud of presenting my MSc research at the BABCP annual conference. Following this, I worked as a psychotherapist at JSA Psychotherapy and both the Clinical Case Lead and Designated Safeguarding Officer at Midhurst Clinical Therapeutic Services. 

​​​

Over the years, I have developed an extensive speciality and deep passion for providing trauma therapy for PTSD through both Trauma Focused CBT and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Trauma-informed care is at the centre of everything I do, particularly in working with complex trauma that keeps impacting people in day to day life.

​

In addition, my bread and butter work is providing discrete and confidential CBT for a diverse range of mental health difficulties including, but not limited to;

OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder),

Panic Attacks,

Social Anxiety Disorder,

Health Anxiety,

Low Self-Esteem
