We offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for adults.
CBT for Adults
What is CBT?
CBT is a therapy which aims to disrupt negative patterns of thought in order to find relief from difficult feelings. It differs from psychotherapy in the way that it focuses on your experience of daily life, rather than talking about the past.
What help is available?
CBT can be helpful to people experiencing a wide range of emotional difficulties. If you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or eating-related problems, you may be offered it alongside psychotherapy, or as a stand-alone treatment.
How does it work? (triage/ assessment etc.)
When you make an enquiry, you will be asked to provide some basic information about yourself and what you are struggling with. You will then be offered a telephone consultation where you can provide a clearer picture, which will help our clinicians decide on a course of action. If CBT is deemed appropriate, you will then meet with a therapist for an initial assessment.
How much will it cost?
Fees differ between therapists and types of therapy. You will be given a clear idea of cost before any treatment begins.
