Finding a therapist can be really daunting and anxiety provoking in itself. If you want to Email, WhatsApp or Text rather than call, please send me a message to start with. Then; I'd welcome you to have a free 15 minute call where we will be able to check if CBT is the right therapy for you and if you feel comfortable talking with me. When we’re low or upset, we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can worsen how we feel. CBT works to help us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns so we can feel better.
The British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies describes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, is a family of talking therapies, all based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, what we do, and how our bodies feel, are all connected. If we change one of these we can alter all the others.
If you are here you are likely to be having a difficult time in life in some way. That happens to all of us, including me sometimes. Following a career in substance use services and then retraining as a CBT therapist I know that we all have to look after our mental health as well as our physical health and CBT has so many tools to help us all with both.
