Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is an evidence-based treatment that looks at the relationship between how we think, feel and behave. By addressing unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour, people often experience an improvement in their emotional and physical well-being.
In CBT the client takes an active role, meaning that some of the work happens between sessions. Examples of this are keeping a journal or experimenting with new ways of doing things. This is something that we will decide on and plan for collaboratively.
CBT can be a relatively short-term therapy in comparison with other forms of psychotherapy. How many sessions you need will depend on your particular problem and what your goals are.
I'm able to apply different models or versions of CBT depending on your needs, and according to best practice. These approaches include mindfulness-based CBT, compassion-focused therapy, metacognitive therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). For more information, see the FAQ & Links page.
Schema Therapy
Sometimes people experience more chronic or complex problems, often involving trauma, low self-esteem or difficulties in relating to others. In this case I would draw on Schema Therapy, which integrates CBT with a number of other approaches.
Although there is a much more in-depth focus on childhood and early life in Schema Therapy, the aim of therapy is to give you the insight and skills needed to make changes in your life going forward. Schema Therapy is typically a longer-term therapy. How long this will be depends on your needs and goals.
