The I CAN Centre: The opposite of "I cant.."
The I Can Centre™ is a psychology, counselling and kindness centre that empowers. We help people understand and manage a range of mood states incl stress, anxiety, worry and low confidence; we do this by drawing on the best evidence from psychology, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), health and education. We also help people develop potential towards the best and finest version of themselves i.e to be and do great!
We recognised that negative thoughts and thinking can underpin negative mood states. We also identified “I can't" as being one of the most limiting of thoughts to hold accidentally. In response, we set up our Centre to offer a range of evidence-based supports that can be accessed online or via phone; and from the privacy and comfort of home. So do get in touch and become someone who says:
- "I CAN manage anxiety / worry / anger / low mood"; or
- "I CAN manage/stop rituals and compulsions incl: counting; shopping; cleaning"; or
- "I CAN be happy / confident / sociable / myself".
Dare to believe and let "better" begin today.

"I used to worry so much. I just hadn’t realised that there was a different way. I am in a far better place now. Thank you so much"– Frank
"I didn’t used to like myself and .. I wasted a lot of time being down. With CBT I got to know myself and I learnt to notice and express how I felt. I feel way more confident now."– Jessica
"I had this (anxiety) problem for many decades but therapy has helped me see a new way of thinking and behaving – so that my energy is not wasted any more. I have many things now to look forward to each day. Thank you Ann.– Martha (social anxiety)
I would definitely recommend this to others. From the start of therapy to now is a world apart. Im definitely happier now than at the start. This therapy has really helped. I was my own best critic and now I am my own best friend.– Mark (anxiety and worry; R469; 6 sessions)
Absolutely I would recommend CBT, it was a godsend. I was in a tough place at the start ... everything was low incl my energy and my mood. CBT has definitely helped, I am just nicer to myself. You did a real good job Ann. I would highly recommend you.– Martin (low mood and anxiety; R459; 6 sessions)
"I would definitely recommend this to others, definitely. I feel better. In fact I feel great. I feel like I have found a bit of myself that was lost, or hiding – in fear. I definitely feel I have come a long way. Thanks for your perseverance with me. Thanks so much"– Helen (anxiety and worry; R448; 9 sessions)
My panic was v significant and was stopping me functioning. This (therapy) has really helped. In CBT you learn better strategies and ... why the panic happens. Anxiety can be v disabling, but it doesn’t have to be. I would definitely recommend CBT.– Sally (social anxiety and panic; R431; 6 sessions)
