During your sessions, your therapist will work with you to help identify any negative beliefs or thoughts. Once these are identified your therapist will help you to replace those unhelpful beliefs and thoughts with more positive and helpful ones.

How does CBT - Cognitive behavioural therapy work?

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy that can help people manage their mental health problems. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are all connected and that by changing one of these things, we can change the others.

CBT is a short-term therapy, typically lasting between 6 and 12 weeks. During each session, you will work with a therapist to identify your problems, understand how they are affecting you, and develop strategies to manage them.

CBT can be used to treat a wide range of mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is also effective in treating physical health problems, such as chronic pain and irritable bowel syndrome.

CBT is a safe and effective treatment, and it is available on the NHS. To access CBT, you will need to speak to your GP. They may refer you to a therapist who specialises in CBT, or they may offer you self-help resources.

If you are considering CBT, it is important to remember that it is not a magic cure. It takes time and effort to make changes, but CBT can help you to manage your problems and improve your quality of life.

“Thank you so much for your help and particularly to Ant whose help has been fantastic across the 7 sessions I’ve had with him. To be able to feel comfortable to talk openly and honestly without any fear of feeling judged is a massive help and has had a huge impact on how I feel about myself and the areas of my life that were making me feel very anxious. I’ve learned a number of new techniques and ideas of how I can manage my thoughts that I feel confident about using going forward. Ant is a great listener and has provided such positive advice and I’m truly grateful for this. The environment where the sessions were held was very nice as well. I’d highly recommend you to anyone as it’s so important to talk”
