Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely-used therapeutic approaches for treating mental health conditions. CBT focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.

Who Can Benefit from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

CBT is effective for a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and more. Its structured approach helps individuals develop practical skills for managing their thoughts and behaviors.

Key Components of CBT

  • Identifying and challenging negative thoughts
  • Behavioral experiments to test the accuracy of these thoughts
  • Developing coping strategies for difficult situations

Through CBT, clients learn how to break the cycle of negative thinking and behavior, leading to improved emotional well-being.

Psychotherapist & Counsellor

I am a qualified UKCP registered Psychotherapist. I aim to help people heal and integrate. I’m a parent, a skateboarder, a basketball player and I’ve done a lot of therapy.I don't do psychic amputation. I believe you can't cut off a part of yourself you don’t like or that causes you pain - and that you will run into more problems if you try. I do believe you can reach into your heart and soul through therapy and establish a healing relationship that will give you the resources you need to live well and fully.
