CBT — Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Fareham & Portsmouth Hampshire

Evidence-based therapy in person in Hampshire, or online across the UK.

When your thoughts keep leading you the same way

Most of us have patterns we fall into without noticing. A thought arrives, a feeling follows, and before long you are doing what you always do, even when you wish you would not. Over time that loop can keep anxiety, low mood or a habit going.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps you spot the loop and change it. With a CBT therapist in Fareham, or online, you learn practical ways to question unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, so the pattern loosens its grip.

How CBT works Thoughts, feelings and actions each affect the other two in a loop. CBT helps you change one, so the others shift too. Thoughts Feelings Actions CHANGE ONE AND THE OTHERS SHIFT
A thought like "I will get it wrong" brings a knot of worry, so you avoid the thing. Avoiding feels better for now, but it tells your mind the worry was right. CBT helps you step out of that loop.
