Lewis Ottaway

Professional Profile

I am a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with extensive experience supporting clients aged 14+. My practice integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to individual needs.

I have a particular interest in working with clients experiencing anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, low self-esteem, and ADHD. My approach is structured and collaborative, focusing on identifying and modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to facilitate meaningful change.

My professional background includes roles in the NHS and therapeutic residential settings, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of diverse client needs. I also offer supervision to trainee CBT therapists, reflecting my commitment to ongoing professional development and the dissemination of best practices.

I offer both online and in-person sessions in Aylesbury and Leighton Buzzard, providing flexibility to accommodate clients' preferences and schedules. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, trauma, or navigating the complexities of ADHD, I am dedicated to providing a supportive and effective therapeutic experience. 

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