Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Structured, practical, evidence-based therapy

CBT helps you understand the links between thoughts, feelings, body sensations, behaviours, and life context. It is collaborative, goal-focused, and designed to create change you can use outside the therapy room.

How CBT works

We start by making the pattern understandable.

Together, we build a formulation: a shared map of what has been happening, what keeps it going, and what might help. From there, we choose tools and experiments that fit your goals and your life.

  1. Understand

    Notice patterns and make sense of why they developed.

  2. Experiment

    Try practical strategies between sessions and learn from what happens.

  3. Strengthen

    Build confidence, flexibility, and skills you can return to in the future.

CBT can help with

Clear support for common and complex difficulties.

Anxiety and worry

Panic, social anxiety, health anxiety, generalised anxiety, and overthinking.

Low mood and depression

Withdrawal, self-criticism, low motivation, and loss of confidence.

Stress and burnout

Overload, boundaries, perfectionism, rest, and recovery.

ADHD and executive functioning

Planning, routines, emotional regulation, and follow-through.

Addiction and relapse prevention

Urges, triggers, shame cycles, and safer coping strategies.

Complex overlap

When difficulties interact and do not fit neatly into one label.

What sessions involve

Therapy is structured, but never one-size-fits-all.

Sessions usually include a review of the week, a focus for the session, practical work together, and an agreed next step.

We keep the work collaborative and paced, with enough structure to feel useful and enough flexibility to stay human.
