What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ?

What is CBT? Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a highly effective style of therapy which looks at how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours impact each other and maintain difficulties which can hold you back in your life.

Our thoughts impact how we feel and what we do, which creates our world; CBT helps you create a life you love. 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an evidence-based approach recommended by the NICE guidelines. NICE stands for the National Institute of Clinical Excellence and are the standards set out by the government for the treatment of all illnesses. 

CBT has been found to be effective in hundreds of clinical trials for many different disorders.

It is a collaborative therapy so you work with your therapist to develop new understandings of your experiences and then develop new, more helpful ways to move forward. This is often achieved through experiments and testing things out in-between sessions until you reach your therapy goals.
