CBT or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a talking therapy used to help treat many emotional and physical health conditions. CBT works on the basis that what we think affects the way we act. In turn, our actions can then re affect our thoughts and feelings. During CBT sessions, I will work with you to endeavour to help you change your behaviours or thinking patterns.
