Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — a practical, evidence-based therapy that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and gives you real tools to break unhelpful patterns.

About This Service

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely researched and effective forms of psychological treatment. It is based on a simple but powerful idea: our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected. When we get caught in unhelpful thinking patterns — like catastrophising, self-criticism or worst-case thinking — it shapes how we feel and what we do. CBT helps you notice these patterns, question them, and build healthier ways of thinking and responding.

CBT is a structured, goal-focused, and collaborative therapy. Rather than dwelling endlessly on the past, we work with you to understand your current difficulties and practice practical strategies — both inside and between sessions. It has a strong evidence base for anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, insomnia and many other concerns, and our psychologists tailor every treatment plan to your specific goals.
