Ariela Sommer Cognitive Behavioural Therapist London is a trusted name in evidence-based mental health care. She brings over three decades of professional experience, helping individuals lead more fulfilling lives through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Located in the heart of London, Ariela offers a warm, structured, and results-driven approach tailored to each individual’s needs.
Ariela specialises in treating depression, anxiety, stress, sleep disorders, phobias, OCD, and panic attacks. She works directly with individuals to understand their challenges and implement lasting change. In every session, she focuses on helping patients identify and replace unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Moreover, she uses exposure techniques and cognitive restructuring to help clients manage anxiety-based conditions effectively.
Ariela has been a part of Nightingale Hospital London since 1994. There, she has run group therapy sessions and provided one-on-one CBT support. Her approach is deeply grounded in clinical experience and structured intervention. She helps clients build resilience and gain tools for emotional regulation. Consequently, many of her clients report significant improvements in both mood and daily functioning.
Her primary focus areas include generalised anxiety disorder, panic attacks, health anxiety, and phobias. Ariela’s method emphasises behavioural activation, exposure therapy, and restructuring of irrational beliefs. Because her treatment plans are practical and targeted, they promote fast and measurable progress. Patients struggling with perfectionism, low self-acceptance, or fear of failure benefit from her clear and compassionate strategies.
Ariela holds a Diploma in Counselling Psychology. She is also a proud member of both BABCP and BACP. These credentials reflect her commitment to best practices in CBT and continued professional development. In addition, she remains dedicated to upholding high ethical standards in all client interactions.
Sessions with Ariela are offered in English and tailored to suit each person’s pace and goals. She actively listens, collaborates closely with her clients, and encourages them to challenge limiting beliefs. Above all, Ariela fosters a safe, non-judgmental space that empowers change.
