Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT is a psychological approach or "talking therapy" that can help with a wide range of emotional issues and mental health problems. CBT is a proven evidence based treatment that focuses on the here and now although some reference maybe made to the past in order to understand how problems may have developed and what triggers them. However, the main focus of treatment is on learning to identify and challenge negative thought patterns or beliefs that are no longer helpful to you. Therapy may also involve exploring more practical ways of helping you deal differently with day to day situations and develop new coping strategies that are more effective or helpful to you. CBT can be used to treat a wide range of problems and is known to be particularly effective in the treatment of Depression and Anxiety Disorders such as OCD, phobias, Health Anxiety, Social Anxiety and Panic Disorders. It also helps with PTSD ,Eating Disorders and other issues such as relationship difficulties, work related stress, low self esteem or lack of self confidence can also. I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse and a trained Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with many years experience working in the mental health field . I am currently an accredited member of the BABCP (British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists). I have experience of working and helping people with very complex problems and have specialised skills in Eating Disorders. The number of sessions is dependent on the severity and type of problem but most people will need somewhere between 6 and 12 sessions. Sessions are usually weekly or fortnightly and last one hour. I see people at my private office at home where I provide a professional and confidential service. Should you wish to consider my service then please call or message me to discuss options with no charge or obligation.
