About CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a self-help
psychological approach, which empowers individuals to make positive
changes to their circumstances. By understanding the relationship between
thinking, emotions and actions and through making changes to thinking
styles and behaviours, powerful and significant shifts can occur through
retraining your mind. CBT is particularly helpful in improving
self-esteem, confidence, managing low mood, anxiety, agoraphobia, obsessive
compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias, social anxiety,
panic disorder, weight management and addictions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
(CBT) is also a productive tool in overcoming barriers to personal growth and
development and facilitating personal goals and aspirations.

Testimonials
'For as long as I can remember I have struggled with my
thoughts and feelings. I have always had a "glass half empty"
attitude, felt immense responsibility for others, been overly sensitive and
been unrealistic in my expectations both of myself, family and friends. This
has impacted on my relationships and how I have coped with everyday problems
and situations.
Prior to engaging in CBT I was "emotionally
stuck", I had a complete inability to see a future and dwelled in the
past, my mood was very low, obsessional thoughts were controlling me and my
relationships were being damaged by my actions.
Through CBT sessions I have discovered and now
understand myself, learned how to control my OCD, built on my confidence and
learned to change my thinking. This has had amazing impact on my ability to
cope with life's ups and downs, has made me appreciate "my lot",
assisted me in becoming more decisive and has helped me form strong positive
relationships. I now feel more positive, calmer, happier and realistic. I feel
in control of my life, love myself and see a fantastic future ahead.'
"Months
later I still feel the benefit of the work we did together. You listened
thoughtfully and helped me to look at my life with fresh eyes. Our
sessions introduced me to new ideas and techniques, which I continue to
use on a daily basis. I found the idea of self-compassion particularly
powerful and, as a result, I have come through a difficult and challenging time
in much better shape than would have thought possible. I'm getting more
enjoyment and satisfaction from my daily life, my stress levels are much lower
and my relationships more harmonious "
