Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is an evidence based psychological treatment recommended by NICE guidelines for a range of difficulties such as anxiety and depressive disorders. The approach focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions and behaviours, as well as body sensations. The approach goes further by reframing the way we think in order to change the way we act, this in turns improves how we may feel.
