Sent personal details asking for details. 3 days to reply (Friday PM to Monday pm). Dont do face to face appointments and £100 per hour for virtual support.

Brighter Life Therapy is one of the brightest lights guiding the psychotherapy field into the 21st century. Its credo boldly defines standards for therapy at its best: a nonpathologizing, deeply respectful, collaborative process in which I was able to experience my innate capacities for well-being. I would highly recommend Anjali - she really does care about people and seeks to bring out the best in everyone.

★★★★★★★★★★Helen GosneyNov 2020

As a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist I tend to see significantly unwell young people in my private practice, and I need to be able refer them for safe, effective evidence based talking treatment. Having known Anjali from when we both worked in the same hospital I was delighted when she launched Brighter Life Therapy and I have already referred several of my patients to her for CBT. The young people always report feeling understood by Anjali and are making significant progress. As a bonus for me Anjali is a pleasure to co work with and her communication back to me is excellent.

Anjali is a great CBT practitioner who has a passion for keeping up to date with current research and ensuring therapy delivered is evidence based yet easy to understand for her clients. She is so enthusiastic in what she does and always has a smile! I'd definitely recommend contacting Brighter Life Therapy if you are looking for therapy for yourself or your child.
