About me

My name is Aaron Shalan-Webb, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist

I'm a BABCP-registered Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology (BSc) and a Master of Science degree in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MSc).

I have worked in mental health for over 14 years, across both NHS and private-sector settings, supporting adults and adolescents with a wide range of psychological difficulties.

My aim is to provide therapy that is collaborative, compassionate, evidence-based and practical, while recognising that every person's experiences and circumstances are different.

My experience

Throughout my career, I have worked with both adult and adolescent clients in inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting people with presentations ranging from more common difficulties through to more complex mental health needs.

I have worked at The Priory Hospital in Roehampton and The Nightingale Hospital in Marylebone, gaining experience within specialist private psychiatric settings.

During this time, I have provided both individual and group psychological therapy and worked with clients experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, emotional difficulties and more complex presentations.

BPD and DBT experience

I have a particular interest in working with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and difficulties involving emotional regulation, relationships and intense emotions.

During my time at The Priory Hospital in Roehampton, I worked as a Lead CBT/DBT Therapist and established an extensive DBT group-based programme for adolescents on a private inpatient service.

I have also facilitated groups covering Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), CBT for depression and anxiety, stress management and assertiveness.

This experience has given me an understanding of the challenges that can arise when difficulties are complex or have been present for some time, and the importance of developing a therapeutic approach that is tailored to the individual.

Working with adolescents

I have extensive experience working with adolescents as well as adults, including within inpatient and outpatient settings.

I currently work with young people aged 15 and over, providing a supportive and structured environment where they can explore difficulties such as anxiety, depression and emotional challenges.

I recognise that seeking therapy can feel daunting, particularly for a young person. My approach is to create a space where clients can feel listened to, understood and actively involved in their therapy.

Research and professional interests

I have a keen interest in psychological research and have been invited to present my work at a number of professional and academic settings, including The Priory Hospital's Case Conference, Goldsmiths, University of London, and the North American Society for the Study of Personality Disorders in Pittsburgh, USA.

I value the relationship between research and clinical practice and aim to draw on evidence-based psychological approaches in my work.
