What is CBT?

CBT is a talking therapy and an evidence-based approach that helps you to manage your difficulties by changing the way you think and behave. This involves practice in between sessions.

It is based on the idea that our thoughts, emotions, physical symptoms and behaviours are all interlinked and this can create a vicious cycle of anxiety and depression.

CBT helps you to break down the problem, understand what is maintaining it and change unhelpful patterns to improve your quality of life.

CBT teaches you how to be your own therapist, so it is incredibly useful for long-term.

CBT sessions are usually 50 minutes long, on a weekly basis and are collaborative. You are the expert on yourself and we have the knowledge of the tools and so we will work together to understand what will be helpful.
