Federico Ferrarese Cognitive Behavioural Therapist

I am a Chartered Psychologist and BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) specialising in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and depression.

My work focuses on helping people understand their difficulties and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to achieve meaningful and lasting change. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I support clients in reducing symptoms, improving day-to-day functioning, and building long-term resilience while minimising the risk of relapse.

I offer a warm, collaborative and structured therapeutic approach, creating a safe space where clients feel understood and supported while working towards clear, realistic goals. I provide online CBT therapy in both English and Italian, supporting clients across the UK and internationally.
