Improv is an exciting form of live theatre where we playfully create scenes on the spot, without scripts. It nurtures creativity, enhances communication, and fosters group synergy. Join The Thame Improv Drop-in and dive into the art of playful expression!

CBT with Joy McGuire

Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT)
Joy McGuire BABCP Accredited
One โ€“ to โ€“ one therapy sessions for adults

CBT is a talking therapy that aims to help one understand the way our thoughts and behaviours are connected with difficulties we experience in life and the associated distress we feel. Once one understands connections that are unhelpful we can work together in therapy to experiment with change, employing a range of effective therapy strategies.
It is an evidenced based therapy that has been found to be very helpful in the management of anxiety problems, depression, stress reactions and relationship difficulties.
I have 25+ years experience working in the NHS as a CBT psychotherapist, both in clinical practice and in training and supervising CBT therapists in the UK and internationally.
Therapy sessions are ยฃ90 per hour.
If you would like to consider whether CBT is something that might be helpful for you then do please email me at:

I can arrange a time to speak on the phone if this would be helpful.

At the heart of every class are Tock the Clock and Brown Bear, they feature in core songs and provide structure within the weekly classes. Children love to wind Tock the Clock and watch him choose the special song of the week.

All classes combine familiar and new elements in a structured way, so that our weekly sessions feel familiar yet fresh, featuring core songs, topical songs, music and movement, instrument time and sensory moments.

Four separate age groups are offered using age-specific curriculum, written and delivered by qualified, experienced music teachers.
