Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has become one of the most popular and frequently used psychological therapies within the UK. There is now extensive evidence supporting its effectiveness in the treatment of many emotional difficulties. Indeed, CBT is seen as the treatment of choice by The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for problems like anxiety, depression, OCD and phobias. 

CBT aims to help individuals become more aware of how certain thinking styles, belief systems and patterns of actions, negatively impact how one feels. During sessions, individuals are taught how to challenge and ultimately change their unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours to better serve them. Over time this therapy should improve a person’s mood, emotional wellbeing, self and world view. 

Sessions focus on addressing current problems with practical solutions. During CBT, the therapist and client agree tasks that should be completed between sessions. This maximises opportunities for behaviour change outside of therapy. Sessions are clearly structured, with the therapist directing the conversation.
