Rupert Crockett, NCPS

Rupert Crockett is a therapist who combines hands-on bodywork training with evidence-based psychological approaches to support clients through change and challenge. He trained in Remedial Massage and Craniosacral therapy before moving into psychological therapies, and he now specialises in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR).

Rupert has developed his private practice in Wiltshire and also offers online sessions, bringing practical experience from earlier roles that included work in exclusive hotels. He values ongoing professional and personal development and maintains a daily meditation practice, which informs his thoughtful, grounded approach to therapy.

Clients meet a practitioner who aims to integrate body-focused understanding with structured psychological techniques to help with issues such as stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting and career challenges. Rupert describes his role as empowering individuals to reconnect with their values and to find clearer direction when life feels stuck.

He emphasises collaborative work that attends to both physical and mental aspects of experience, helping people explore what can be changed and to accept what cannot. Rupert holds the NCPS credential and continues to expand his practice and training while supporting clients in person and online.

Approaches for Online Work and Therapeutic Choice

Rupert offers several well-established approaches adapted for online and remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to change them - it is commonly used for stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity - it is often chosen for trauma, abuse and intrusive memories. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that support emotional regulation and reduce rumination - it can help with anxiety, stress and maintaining focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rupert works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and he is open to integrating techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative planning helps ensure the work is personalised and practical.

Online therapy with Rupert is delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make access to registered professionals and therapists easier for people who live at a distance, have busy commitments or prefer the convenience of remote sessions, while still allowing for consistent, effective therapeutic work.
