What is CBT?

CBT – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. The focus is on improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that can help individuals to solve problems. Breaking issues down into smaller parts can help you to control them.

We truly believe that a problem shared is a problem halved. It can be especially hard for young people to deal with the myriad emotions and feelings that can affect their lives. That is why our aim is to bring some positivity to those negative thought patterns. We don’t want young people to be trapped in a vicious cycle – let’s talk!

CBT Sessions

Our sessions teach useful and practical strategies that can be used in everyday life, even after the treatment has finished. Your therapist will assist you in compartmentalising your problems. This will separate your thoughts, physical feelings and actions. This allows you to see what effect they have on how you deal with situations.  

The sessions take place remotely which allows young people to be comfortable in their own environment. The time between each session provides an opportunity to practise the changes discussed. It is a collaborative process between therapist and individual. Moreover, it is a chance for you to see that you are not alone on your journey.

The cost per session is £60 (sessions last for 50 minutes).
