Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
(CBT)
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by exploring the way you think, feel and behave.
CBT has grown an excellent reputation for helping people with their emotional difficulties. It is often the first treatment that your GP will suggest for anxiety and mood disorders.
CBT helps by not only giving you an understanding of why you are struggling but it also facilitates change so that you can begin to feel better.
In therapy you will begin by looking at recent times when you have experienced distress so that you can gain a detailed picture of what is truly happening in those moments. After which you will work closely with your therapist to breakdown these problems.
Each step of the therapeutic process is done together.
