CBT

Experiences and feelings can be overwhelming. CBT helps you learn how to manage problems by breaking them down into smaller parts and then building on new ways of thinking and behaving to break negative cycles.

CBT aims to be time-limited. Unlike some other types of therapies which explore your past in some detail, CBT focuses more on your current circumstances and problems. It offers a practical approach to helping you improve your state of mind on a day-to-day basis by giving you tools that you can continue to use once your therapy sessions have ended. 

Research supports CBT as being particularly useful for anxiety – e.g. panic attacks – and depression, but it can also help with wide range of issues such as pain management. 

Sessions are weekly and exercises are set between sessions to maximise the benefit. It should be noted that CBT is not a ‘quick fix’, but requires commitment to change.
