Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are linked. By exploring these patterns, CBT supports you in developing healthier ways of thinking and coping, leading to lasting positive change.
​
CBT is a collaborative and goal-focused approach. Together, we will work to identify the challenges you want to address and develop personalised strategies you can apply in everyday life. Therapy is usually time-limited and structured, helping you build skills that continue to be useful long after sessions end.
​
​CBT is recommended by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a first-line treatment for many common mental health conditions, reflecting its strong evidence base and effectiveness.
