What is CBT?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced based talking therapy which helps you to develop an understanding of your emotional difficulties and learn to manage these difficulties by changing the way you think and behave.
How it works
When we feel anxious or low we can fall into patterns of unhelpful thinking and behaving (e.g. avoidance or worry) which can maintain negative emotions or worsen how we feel. CBT is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours are interconnected and that if we can change one area, this can alter the others and help you to improve your overall wellbeing. CBT helps to empower individuals and involves practicing skills to manage current difficulties in a healthier way.
CBT is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for the treatment of many mood and anxiety disorders.
