Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy recommended by NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) for the treatment of a wide range of emotional and physical health problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma and chronic pain. When feeling worried or distressed we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can worsen how we feel.

CBT helps us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns so we can feel better; regain a sense of achievement and enjoyment in your everyday life. CBT has lots of strategies that can help you in the here and now.

Dependent on the nature of your difficulties this may also mean that we need to consider earlier life experiences and how they play a role in what you are thinking and your behaviour patterns.

 The therapy relationship is a collaborative one that enables you to develop new understandings of your problems and develop new more helpful ways to move forward. This can be a life changing process that provides you with knowledge and skills and ultimately to become your own therapist.
