CBT therapist, online worldwide
I'm Shagoon Maurya, a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (ACA Level 2, PACFA) trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. If you're looking for a CBT therapist who is practical, warm and evidence-based, that's exactly how I work, online, wherever you are.
CBT starts from a simple, powerful idea: it isn't only events that shape how we feel, it's the meaning we attach to them. Change the thinking and behaviour patterns, and the feelings follow. It's one of the most researched therapies in the world, and the backbone of how I work as your therapist.
Alongside classic CBT I'm trained in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which blends CBT with mindfulness to prevent relapse into low mood and rumination, and I draw on REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy), CBT's direct ancestor, when its head-on style with rigid 'must' and 'should' beliefs fits you best.
What CBT with me looks like
Map thoughts to feelings
We catch the automatic thoughts driving anxiety, low mood or anger, and test them against reality.
Practical experiments
Small between-session actions that retrain your patterns, change happens in your week, not just the session.
MBCT mindfulness
Learn to observe thoughts without being dragged around by them, especially powerful against rumination.
Skills you keep
The endpoint of good CBT is you becoming your own therapist.
What I use CBT for
Anxiety and panic, depression and low mood, stress and burnout, self-esteem, perfectionism, sleep-wrecking worry, and the loops of overthinking that keep smart people stuck. CBT is also the spine of my couples work, see my CBT marriage counselling.
CBT isn't about positive thinking. It's about accurate thinking, and the freedom that comes with it.
As an integrative therapist I'll blend CBT with other approaches when you need them, you can see the full toolkit on my about page. We start with a free 15-minute consultation.

Yes. I'm Shagoon Maurya, a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (ACA Level 2, PACFA), trained in CBT, MBCT and REBT, and I use them within an integrative practice shaped around you.
CBT works actively with thought content, testing and reframing it. MBCT adds mindfulness, changing your relationship to thoughts so they lose their grip. I'm trained in both and often combine them.
CBT is deliberately time-effective. Many people feel meaningful change within six to twelve sessions, and we review progress openly as we go.
Yes, research finds online CBT as effective as in-person for most concerns, and the between-session practice happens in your real life either way.
