Andrew Kemp - Owner/CBT Therapist

My name is Andrew Kemp, I’m a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, accredited with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and owner of Clear Mind CBT. 

I have been practising CBT for over 15 years and worked with thousands of clients, within the NHS, through charities and privately. 

I believe that the key to effective therapy is to have a strong, trusting relationship and for client and therapist to work together, as equals.

 I work hard to achieve that therapeutic relationship and find a style that works for the individual. 

I offer a free consultation and should you feel that I am not the right fit for you or your needs then I would be happy to direct you towards other therapists in the local area.
