Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that helps you understand how a problem has developed and what might be keeping it going. It supports you in recognising unhelpful patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours keeping you stuck, and guides you through practical steps to break the cycle and create lasting change.
CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that explores the connection between how we think, how we feel, and what we do. Together, we work to identify the processes that may be maintaining your difficulties, using proven techniques to bring both relief and long-term progress.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed, CBT can equip you with the tools to better understand your mind, manage your emotions, and respond to life’s challenges in more flexible, compassionate, and effective ways.

How It Works
1. Free Telephone Consultation
A short, no-pressure phone call to talk through what you're looking for and whether CBT might be a good fit. It's also a chance to ask any questions before deciding to go ahead.
2. Initial Assessment
If you decide to continue, we’ll book a 90-minute assessment session to understand your current difficulties, goals, and whether CBT is the right approach. We’ll begin mapping out a plan together.
3. Treatment Sessions
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly. We’ll work collaboratively using CBT techniques tailored to your needs. Sessions are structured but flexible — always grounded in what matters to you.
4. Remote & Accessible
All sessions are conducted via Microsoft Teams. That means you can access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space, with no travel time or added stress.
