Rupert Crockett , NCPS

Rupert Crockett trained initially in remedial massage and craniosacral therapy before moving into psychological approaches, now specialising in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. He holds the NCPS credential and has combined body-based therapies with evidence-informed psychological methods to shape a flexible practice that addresses both physical and mental patterns.

His background includes experience working in exclusive hotels and running a private practice based in Wiltshire and online. Over years of continued study and self-development, Rupert has woven meditation and somatic awareness into his clinical work, describing his own learning as an ongoing journey that informs how he supports others.

Rupert helps clients facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, addictions, family and relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and career issues. He focuses on empowering individuals to reconnect with their values and regain clarity, drawing on therapeutic tools to reduce mental burden and increase a felt sense of self-connection.

Outside of practice, Rupert values time spent outdoors and maintains a daily meditation practice. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process, guiding clients toward practical change where possible and helping them learn to accept what cannot be changed.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rupert commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside mindfulness-informed work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured approach that helps people process distressing memories and the emotions tied to them, frequently applied in trauma-focused work. Mindfulness Therapy involves training attention and awareness to reduce reactivity and build acceptance, supporting issues like stress, sleep difficulties, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rupert collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for those with busy schedules, mobility constraints, or who live farther from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and to continue work on goals from different locations and life circumstances.
