CBT is for people who are stressed or unhappy or anxious or depressed, and who want to build better awareness and management of how they think and feel and behave. It is also for people who have particular situational problems or anxieties. And it is for people who have good coping skills, but who want to make them even better. And it is for people who like to self improve through personal and professional development. So, in short… CBT is for everybody.

CBT has proven to outperform anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication for many people dealing with stress disorders – but you do not have to have diagnosable depression, or a serious anxiety disorder, to use and benefit from CBT. Think of it this way, it is as simple and as essential as eating right or exercising – only it’s your beautiful brain and psychological health you are taking care of. It’s a science, believe it.

CBT is often called ‘the philosophy of how to be happy’ – and who doesn’t want that?

It is a very real and practical science and psychotherapy. It is not about positive thinking in a law of attraction type way – it is about structured reframing to realistic thinking, it is about developing great psychological health and well being through rational thinking skills, it is about developing great coping skills. It is a beautiful science. And science is magic that works.

It is not about taking away your emotions, it is about giving you the controls to understand and regulate your emotions so that you can be happier and cope well, recognising and accepting what you can control, and what you cannot control – and living in the present (truly living), no matter what the circumstances.

What is ‘low intensity’ Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

It is a psycho-educational model of psychotherapy that teaches the engaged learner, (that’s you), through discussion and homework sessions, how to build self regulation of your ‘attributional style’ (this is a psychology term for how you explain the world to yourself) – and how to recognise in a very practical way how stress distorts our thoughts and beliefs, and how to un-distort these patterns deliberately and consciously, as a new habit, until your new default thinking is more rational and realistic. Modern CBT also skills you up in understanding and managing the physicality of stress, and it’s effect on your body.

(You don’t like the idea of doing ‘homework’? Don’t worry – I can do it in session with you – and you take your skills out the door with you.)

With CBT we learn the science of ‘thinking and feeling and behaviour’.

Sometimes we need a little help and support and guidance in navigating this world.

CBT has proven effective for:

General anxiety, Stress management, Social anxiety, Public Speaking Anxiety, Low self esteem / confidence issues, Depression, Excessive worrying, Panic attacks, Anger management, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Eating Disorders, Addiction, General Health Problems, Mood Swings, OCD, Phobias, PTSD, Sexual/Relationship Problems, Insomnia, Breakups, Divorce, Doom Scrolling, Comparing and Despairing, Catastrophising, Loss and bereavement, Procrastination, Self Sabotaging behaviours, Negative Automatic Thoughts, Intrusive Thoughts, Pessimism (and other associated difficulties and disorders and disrupting events that come with a stressful world and being human).

Clients might choose to use the sessions or workshops as an ‘introduction’ to the therapy, where you will go on to attend a traditional practitioner for further development if you feel you want to go deeper for longer – or you might use it as a premium ‘self help’ product, by taking it away and applying these new self management skills as a new philosophy of living over time, improving your personal and professional life yourself by ‘becoming your own therapist’ (without the extended duration and expense of years of traditional therapy, which is of course a privilege of time and money which is not possible for everybody).
