Online CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Online CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of talking treatment which focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings and behaviour, and teaches you coping skills for dealing with different problems.

It combines cognitive therapy (examining the things you think) and behaviour therapy (examining the things you do).

(CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.

It’s most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems.

WHAT IS CBT FOR

CBT is based on the idea that the way we think about situations can affect the way we feel and behave. For example, if you interpret a situation negatively then you might experience negative emotions as a result, and those bad feelings might then lead you to behave in a certain way.

WHAT DOES CBT INCLUDE

We provide ‘Low Intensity’ brief psychology informed, guided self-help interventions via Zoom. Also 1-to-1 further treatment session for 6 weeks on WhatsApp voice or video calls. We look to work with NHS staff & their families in the community after business hours and weekends. This way we will be able to reduce NHS waiting list for assessments. Initially we will meet as a Stress Group which will be FREE on Zoom, followed by 1-to-1 sessions with anyone who needs further support with their anxiety on 1 to 1 sessions online.
