Onebright  Reviews 

Amanda was my counsellor and from the very start she put me at ease. She allowed me to talk through my feelings and the losses I have had. She also helped with coping mechanisms so that if I have a panic/anxiety attack. She explained things clearly and made sure I was happy with the skills she gave me. She is a lovely counsellor and I would highly recommend. Thanks Amanda

I had a really positive experience with my CBT trauma therapist, Sue. She helped me understand trauma and the body’s responses to it in a way that made my symptoms feel much less confusing and overwhelming, while also giving me practical techniques to manage them. I particularly valued the reflective summaries at the end of sessions, which were really useful to revisit afterwards. Overall, I feel much better and more confident in understanding and managing my symptoms.

I really benefited from my sessions, I found that I understood more about myself while learning and developing new techniques to cope with challenges. The sessions were always well planned so I always felt they were purposeful, while also allowing me the space to guide the session to what I feel I needed support with. My therapist was very patient and supportive.

Fantastic. Really quick access to a wonderful therapist for our daughter, at a time and place that was comfortable for her. Julie was brilliant at building a rapport with our daughter and making her feel safe and comfortable enough to talk openly. Fantastic!

Had 10 sessions with Caroline and she was excellent at walking me through the CBT framework and helping me navigate through a complex time.

Caroline Stacey has been a great support to me over the last few weeks. When I came to her, I was struggling with the day to day; relationships, self-confidence and navigating my career and work commitments. Caroline gave me a space to talk. Once she understood, she helped me construct a plan and shared resources with me. With her help, I am better able to tackle, understand and resolve everyday challenges that previously felt impossible. :) life changing...thanks, Caroline!

I'm very unhappy with this service.

They stopped my therapy abruptly and disclosed confidential information to my therapist. They don't have a clear database about their therapists' qualifications.

Christine was an incredible help.
I was struggling for a long time with anxiety related issues and she helped me find out the root cause (my core beliefs) and challenge them.
She also helped me learn some technqiues that have been invaluable to my day to day.
Comfortable atmosphere, expert knowledge, huge reccomendation.

Michelle from the clinical team was prompt, efficient, helpful, understanding patient and intentional.

She provided me with excellence service and mediated the proper allocation of appropriate support for my needs. She was empathetic and intentional when handling my request and gave me updates in good time.

She was nothing less than lovely and a perfect embodiment of what One Bright is. Excellence, through and through.

Maria was super supportive, learnt many valuable techniques through the process which led me to understanding myself much more and making progress to be a much happier, better version of myself.

Great in-depth analysis of my situation, followed by the advice and action plan received with the help of my therapist Paul McKew.

I can't recommend Paul highly enough. I came to counselling during a very traumatic time in my life, feeling lost in myself, anxious, and low. It was affecting my work, my ability to manage things at home, and my relationships.

From the very first session, Paul really understood me - not just what I was going through, but who I am as a person. I don't know whether that's simply his natural style or whether he adapted his approach to suit me, but either way it felt encouraging, down-to-earth, and manageable, never overwhelming. That made it easy to just be myself in sessions, which isn't something that comes naturally to me — I don't usually open up easily, but with Paul it never felt like a problem.

He gave me practical, usable tools that I could actually apply in day-to-day life.

I'm so grateful for his guidance. I'm feeling much more like myself again, life feels manageable rather than overwhelming, and I'm finding my feet. Highly recommend.

I began this block of CBT with some trepidation after a previous course of therapy elsewhere had achieved limited results. Working with Mirco Magi has been an entirely different and genuinely successful experience. He is thoughtful, perceptive and highly engaged. He listened closely, challenged me constructively and gave each discussion as much time as was necessary, without ever making me feel rushed. I particularly valued being able to intellectually spar with him, alongside the relevant strategies that I have already begun applying successfully. I am extremely grateful for the tools and self-compassion he has helped me develop, and cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Mirco.

I first met Shannon during a very difficult time in my life. I was dealing with acute grief, stress, anxiety, and a chronic illness. I had closed off to those around me. Shannon quickly made me feel comfortable and safe. Over the course of 12 sessions she was able to encourage me to dive deeper into my feelings, gave advice and strategies which really helped to alleviate my distress. Towards the end I looked forward to my sessions with her like coffee with a good friend. I am now living my life fully again and using the strategies she gave me to help combat anxiety, stress and low mood. I would highly recommend her.

Really good. Shuja was excellent.

My CBT was delivered in a very timely and efficient manner by Onebright. My therapist Ian Salmon was insightful and I felt very listened to. The techniques he has taught me to deal with my anxiety have been so useful and it feels like I am back to where I want to be- enjoying life and my family. What’s more I have now a tool kit to use for the future and Ian has given me the confidence to use it. Life changer.

Well organised, efficient. Only reason it’s a 4 not a 5 is because I wasn’t told I had to pay an excess.

Great service, the process was straightforward, fast access to therapy. I had sessions with a very experienced and highly qualified therapist SM. Great support .

It feels as though they do things 'on the cheap' assigning poorly matched and incapable "therapists" (although from my experience these people are counsellors with just a diploma). These counsellors are unable to understands how to help people beyond check-box and formulaic approaches, and are more akin to reading a self help book than tailored therapy that will actually get you somewhere. My dealings with them have in no doubt made my mental health worse rather than improved it and I'm very surprised Aviva use them as their approach is far from professional or effective.

UPDATE: I had contacted OneBright on the email address provided and have not received a response.

I recently completed eight CBT sessions with Amy Baker, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

From the very first session, Amy created a supportive, non-judgemental environment where I felt comfortable talking openly. She took the time to understand what I was experiencing and tailored each session to my needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

The techniques and strategies we worked on have made a real difference to my day-to-day life. I now feel much better equipped to manage my thoughts and anxiety, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my confidence and overall wellbeing.

Amy is knowledgeable, compassionate, and easy to talk to. Her guidance has been invaluable, and I’m genuinely grateful for the progress I’ve made over the past eight sessions.

If you’re considering CBT, I would wholeheartedly recommend Amy Baker.
