Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), is a talking therapy. CBT aims to help you with your difficulties by looking at how you think (cognition) and how this effects what you do ( behaviour) and how you feel both emotionally and physically.
The main aim of therapy is to reduce your distress by guiding you to identify unhelpful habits and patterns of thinking to help you resolve your difficulties, achieve your goals and gain your desired quality of life.
The first step will involve an assessment which will establish a clear understanding of your problems, how these developed and how they are affecting you. This understanding will guide the therapeutic process.
