Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

CBT is an evidence-based short term psychological therapy with a significantly robust research base. It is a very structured and practical approach, helping people resolve problems by focusing upon changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours which undermine self-confidence and can lead to depression and anxiety.

Whilst CBT acknowledges our early experiences and how our presenting problems can originate in childhood, it works very much in the 'here and now'. The basic premise of CBT is that our thoughts and behaviours affect how we feel. CBT helps you change and develop new behaviours and skills for life.
