About Jill Bluff
A calm, collaborative space with a clear plan
When you have been living with an eating difficulty, anxiety or a harsh inner critic, asking for help can feel exposing. My first job is to understand what life is like for you, without judgement. My second is to help us turn that understanding into a practical plan.
Who I am
I am Jill Bluff, a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, accreditation number 1029017. Alongside my private practice, I work within the NHS and provide evidence-based psychological therapy for a wide range of mental health difficulties.
I work with adults, young people and parents across a range of difficulties, with particular experience in eating disorders and disordered eating, body image, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, emotion regulation and perfectionism.
How I work
My style is warm, thoughtful and direct. CBT works best when it is collaborative, so we develop a shared explanation of what may be keeping the problem going and agree which changes to test. I will be open about the purpose of each part of therapy, and I will ask for your feedback as we go.
The work is structured without being one-size-fits-all. Where clinically appropriate, I adapt the work for age, neurodiversity, communication style, sensory needs and the wider circumstances in which the difficulty is happening.
What you can expect from me
- A respectful assessment of the whole picture, not just a symptom checklist.
- A clear explanation of whether I think CBT with me is suitable.
- Agreed goals and a plan that we review together.
- Practical work in sessions, with manageable experiments or practice between appointments.
- Honesty if another professional or a different level of care would be safer or more useful.
Specialist eating disorder work and research
Alongside clinical work, I have contributed to the development and evaluation of Group CBT-T, a brief form of cognitive behavioural therapy designed for some non-underweight eating disorder presentations.
I developed Versions 2 to 4 of the Group CBT-T resources and co-authored the peer-reviewed paper Brief group cognitive-behavioral therapy for non-underweight eating disorders: feasibility and preliminary effectiveness.
