CBT Explained
Research consistently shows CBT helps people get better and stay better. It is the frontline therapy in the National Clinical Excellence Guidelines (2011) and core therapy throughout the NHS.
CBT is a talking therapy with an added practical, ‘real-world’ component where we study how your feelings, thoughts and behaviours can affect your life and how to make a positive change. The central aim of CBT is building resilience and providing you with a toolbox of strategies and techniques to handle whatever life throws at you and make lasting improvement to your life.

CBT will help you to uncover how some thoughts, feelings and actions make us feel not good enough, scared of failure, unwanted and traumatised. Understanding how your past controls your present will help us make sense of how they developed and why they are so hard to shift.
We begin by revisiting factors that are contributing towards the development and maintenance of your present difficulties. Then by using a variety of CBT techniques you can begin to break the cycle of repetitive, challenging and destructive feelings. Furthermore, you will gain insight into your intrusive thoughts and negative thinking and how to challenge them and revolutionise your thinking.
Tasks and homework are created together in sessions to cement learning and put techniques into practice during day-to-day life. By practicing the skills you learn in therapy and developing the confidence to use them, you can become the best version of yourself with Wellness CBT.
