Individual CBT for Tinnitus available from 1st April 2022

There has been no availability for individual CBT for Tinnitus since late 2020 because of commitments to the CBT for Tinnitus E-Programme; however, due to the considerable increase in requests for individual help over recent months, I have made one half day per week available for the CBT for Tinnitus Companion. The CBT for Tinnitus Companion combines the 12 stage CBT for Tinnitus process with up to 12 individual appointments using Zoom for those that feel they need this level of additional one-on-one support through the process. Individual therapy is a large commitment on my part and this has to be reflected in the cost (£1995.00) I would urge anyone believing they need this level of individual support to first enrol on the CBT for Tinnitus E-Programme. Like the many that have already done so, you may well find you do much better than you believe you can.

However, if you still feel you need this level of support, in the first instance please send in your TFI (Tinnitus Functional Index), anxiety measure, and Mini-history, along with an email to cbt@debbiefeatherstone.com If there is availability, I will let you know by return email as soon as possible. The fee for your initial consultation is £175 payable prior to your consultation being booked. A consultation does not commit you to further appointments.
