Therapies we do » Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), is a psychological approach which is based on scientific principles and which research has shown to be effective for a wide range of problems. Clients and therapists work together to identify and understand problems in terms of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The approach usually focuses on the ‘here and now’ and relies on a shared view of the problem which leads to the identification of personalised, time-limited therapy goals and strategies which are continually monitored and evaluated.
