CBT is recommended by NICE for many common mental health difficulties and has a strong evidence base. It can be effective for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety and excessive worry

• Depression and low mood

• Panic attacks

• Social anxiety

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

• Health anxiety

• Stress and burnout

• Low self-esteem

• Perfectionism

• Grief and loss

• Life transitions and adjustment

• Difficult relationships

• Emotional regulation difficulties

Whether your difficulties have developed recently or have been affecting you for many years, CBT can help you understand what's happening and begin making positive changes.

What happens in CBT?

Therapy begins with developing a shared understanding of your experiences and identifying what is contributing to your current difficulties.

Together we will:

• Explore the patterns that may be maintaining your difficulties.

• Understand how thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and behaviours interact.

• Develop practical skills to manage distress.

• Test out new ways of responding.

• Build confidence and resilience.

• Work towards meaningful changes that last beyond therapy.

Sessions are collaborative and paced according to your needs. Many people appreciate that CBT not only helps with current difficulties but also provides skills they can continue using long after therapy has ended.
