CBT Helps to remove the connection between negative situations and the cycle of habitual reaction. It sets out to empower the client to be able to calm both the body and the mind and as a result be more positive

CBT tends to focus on the present not the past, it is aimed at problem solving. It is regarded as a short term therapy and is goal oriented. Average treatments are 1 session (lasting 50 mins) per week for between 3 and 7 months.

CBT is not the same as counselling, psychiatry, coaching or hypnotherapy and not everyone is suitable for CBT treatment.

Like most therapies CBT is not a magical, guaranteed cure for all ills, and it would be unrealistic to expect it to be so, however, for many it offers new ways of coping, new ways of looking at problems and solutions.

CBT Aims:-
To teach skills for dealing with problems in addition to succcessful proven coping strategies.
Changing Behaviours and Beliefs
Dealing with Negative thoughts
