About Barbara Cross

Barbara Cross is a UK-registered therapist with NCPS accreditation and nine years of clinical experience. She works pluralistically, blending client-centred and solution-focused ideas with evidence-informed tools so that therapy can be tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Her practice emphasises collaboration and flexibility, creating a space where practical strategies and reflective exploration sit side by side.

Barbara supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also works with themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication and control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, and fatherhood matters, among others.

Her clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy, motivational interviewing, narrative and solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused techniques. These approaches are applied in ways that respect each client’s unique history and preferences, helping people make sense of past experiences while building practical skills to manage current challenges.

Sessions are designed to help clients process difficult experiences, increase self-understanding, and develop greater self-compassion and resilience. Barbara aims to work alongside clients with sensitivity and respect, adapting the pace and focus of therapy to meet individual needs and priorities.
