What is CBT
What is CBT? Therapy that can make a difference!
CBT is an evidence-based therapy that explores the link between how thoughts can impact how you feel and behave. The therapist and client work together to look at more beneficial thinking styles, creating positive feelings and altering behaviours. CBT has a good evidence base for a wide range of mental health problems in adults, older adults, children and young people. CBT is the first-line treatment for mental health problems and is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. CBT can be used if you are on medication that has been prescribed by your GP. You can also use CBT on its own. This will depend on the difficulty you want help with. We also provide Couples Counselling, Child Psychotherapy, Adult Counselling and More.
How many sessions will I need? That all depends on you!
I offer individual sessions of CBT and the number of sessions depends on the difficulty you need help with. Sessions will usually be between six and twenty sessions and are an hour long. An assessment is required to understand your specific difficulties and to set goals that you would like to achieve.
I am able to provide CBT in a wide range of settings such as therapy room, in the comfort of your home, in schools, over the telephone and via skype. CBT can be easily accessed especially for those who have busy lives.
