Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT supports people to understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours influence one another. It is a structured, evidence‑based talking therapy that teaches practical skills to break unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving and work toward building healthier patterns.

How CBT Works:

CBT principles understand that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can interact and influence each other, often leading to unhelpful or distressing outcomes that don’t fit with how we want to live our lives. Often how we interpret situations can impact on how we feels and behave in response, similarly, how we behave in a situation can impact on how we think and feel. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, we can learn to replace them with more balanced thoughts and productive actions.

What will my CBT sessions be like?

CBT is typically a short‑term therapy and sessions will be structured. Your sessions may include:

  • Thought exploration — identifying patterns of thinking that might be keeping you stuck

  • Behavioural strategies — practising different ways of responding to difficult or upsetting feelings or situations

  • Goal setting — breaking potentially overwhelming challenges into manageable steps

  • Out of session exercises — worksheets or diaries can be used to identify patterns that you are unhappy with, or small behavioural tasks to practice skills and support progress. Evidence consistently shows that when therapeutic skills are practised beyond the therapy room, they become integrated into daily life more quickly and more effectively.

Therapy is collaborative and person-centred, we will work together to understand your experiences, what maintains your difficulties, this also means that everyone's therapy journey will look a little different.
