CBT combines two approaches for a practical and solution-focused therapy. The aim of CBT is to help us understand how our thoughts and behaviours influence each other. The belief is that, by changing the way we think or behave in a situation, we can change the way we feel about life. CBT explores learnt behaviours, habits and negative thought patterns and helps us adapt them to become more supportive.
CBT is in the here and now and also looks to the future. While past events and experiences are considered during the sessions, the focus is on current concerns.
During a CBT session, I will help you understand any negative thought patterns you have. You will learn how they affect you, your body and most importantly, what can be done to change them.
