ABOUT

CBT 

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy. CBT works by looking at the connections and interaction between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours by noticing our patterns of thinking, the unhelpful ways we may be responding to emotions and addressing this by challenging or changing our thoughts and behaviours.   

​

CBT can be effective in treating difficulties such as, 

Stress 

Anxiety 

Depression 

Low Self Esteem

Perfectionism

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Trauma 

Sleep issues 

Addiction 

Anger

​

CBT is goal driven and sessions will be tailored to support you to achieve your goals. The number of sessions you need depends on the goals you have and the changes you want to make.
