Cognitive behavioural therapy is a choice of treatment for many anxiety related disorders such as phobias and fears of stressful situations such as public speaking. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the thoughts, physical symptoms and behaviours that comprise an area of emotional difficulty. The goals of CBT are to decrease the intensity and frequency of symptoms, increase coping skills and prevent relapse.

Treatment usually encompasses 8 -10 individual weekly sessions and progress with CBT depends on your engagement throughout. We offer an initial interview at no cost allowing you to decide whether you wish to go ahead with therapy. Your therapist is also placed to judge your commitment and to decide whether CBT is suitable for the problem in question and the number of sessions required. The aim of treatment is for you and your therapist to work alongside to identify patterns of thought underpinning behaviour and for you to make further progress once therapy has been completed.

At the outset you will be asked to outline any specific problems and any goals that you might have in mind. Subsequent assignments, treatment aims and sessions hinge on information given by you. Agreed topics are approached in a problem-focused and straightforward manner. Both you and your therapist agree on assignments devised by you, giving you the opportunity to both practice techniques which you've learned and/or to gradually expose yourself to discomforting situations. CBT techniques include challenging irrational beliefs and substituting these with alternative beliefs, halting cycles of thought, graded exposure and relaxation techniques.
