I believe in a customised approach to therapy that considers the unique needs and experiences of each client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), is a proven treatment for many mental health concerns. My goal is to empower clients with the tools necessary to change negative patterns of thinking and promote positive behavior change. Additionally, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to supplement the therapeutic process. At CavanaghCBT, you can expect a therapist who is dedicated to your success and wellbeing.

Feedback I’ve Received

Patient Experiences

I can honestly say Margaret has changed my life. She is the most caring, insightful, professional and trustworthy individual and I would highly recommend her services to anyone. She has inspired me to lead a more understanding, fulfilled and happier life and has given me the lifelong tools that enable me to take control of my mental health every day.

I decided to embark on CBT because I felt the way I was thinking, and my thought processes were having a very negative impact on my everyday life. I have suffered with anxiety, low mood and a lack of self-confidence for most of my life. I felt an instant sense that Margaret understood me and I was totally at ease and comfortable to talk to her about anything. Each week, I learnt something new about myself and also learnt coping strategies that I can apply into everyday life. She has helped me endlessly and now I feel very well equipped and more confident to carry what I have learnt and developed with her, into my life going forward.

I struggle to find words to sum up the impact my CBT sessions with Margaret have had on my life. I feel like for the first time in my life I have made REAL lasting progress with everything that has held me still for so long. CBT sessions with Margaret , focussing on my struggles with body image, food and anxiety have helped permanently change that feeling of almost drowning. I feel as though with Margaret’s guidance and support I was able to find a ledge to stand on, and then a ladder to get out of the water.
