About Rupert

Rupert Crockett focuses on stress, anxiety, anger and related life difficulties using approaches he describes as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EMDR. He is registered with NCPS and has three years' experience as a practising counsellor in the United Kingdom.

He brings an interest in both body-based and talking approaches. He initially trained in remedial massage and craniosacral therapy and later moved into psychological therapies. That background informs how he thinks about physical tension alongside thoughts and feelings.

Rupert uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different coping strategies. He also works with EMDR to address memories and distress linked to trauma or abuse. Mindfulness techniques are part of sessions to support focus and regulation.

He describes his way of working as collaborative and practical. Sessions aim to identify clear goals, try out new ways of coping and review progress. He also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand internal parts that influence feelings and behaviour.

Rupert has worked in private practice in Wiltshire and with clients online. He continues professional development and keeps a daily personal meditation practice. Outside work he spends time outdoors and values ongoing study to refine his approach.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Rupert works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; this is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. He also uses EMDR to address distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms, aiming to reduce the emotional charge linked to particular past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to try. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure it fits what you want to achieve.

Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, cut travel time and allow regular check-ins. They can also allow shorter phone or video check-ins when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed, and make it simpler to continue work with a therapist while living abroad.
