Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, commonly known as CBT, is a form of talking therapy that looks at how you think about yourself, the world and other people around you. CBT believes that 'we feel the way we think' and by changing the relationship with your thoughts, and replacing them with more healthy ones, you will feel happier.

CBT helps break down difficulties into smaller parts of thoughts, feelings and behaviours and explores how these parts are all interconnected. These connections can cause negative patterns resulting in you getting stuck in outdated ways of being. By using CBT tools you can break and change these patterns into more healthy ones resulting in you developing more flexible, less-extreme, and more positive beliefs about yourself and the world around you.
It focusses on the 'here and now' and how difficulties affect you presently instead of looking for the cause in the past.
CBT is an interactive process between the therapist and yourself where we can discuss your specific problem and set goals for you to work towards and achieve. CBT is:
• a practical approach
• problem focused
• action orientated
CBT is not advice giving but teaches you specific skills to cope with situations for now and the future.
For some people as little as one to six sessions can help to make a real difference. For others a longer term approach may be more appropriate. Professional therapy is about meeting the needs and objectives of the client and not those of the therapist.
