About CBT Therapy

CBT psychotherapy is not the same as counselling or other forms of therapy.

​

Principally CBT is about treating psychological conditions using evidence-based techniques that have been tested rigorously in clinical trials. That is why CBT is recommended by NICE as the priority treatment for Depression and Anxiety conditions.

​

So here is how we can start things going:

​

In the first instance, I will need to speak with you on the phone just to make sure that your condition suits CBT as a treatment method and also to make sure that there are no risk issues that will make private treatment unsuitable.

 

After this we can arrange an initial consultation, during which I will ask a lot of questions to identify (with you) the condition that we will be treating, and at the end of this I will outline the treatment approach and timescale.

 

From the second session, we will commence treatment.

 

I meet a lot of people who believe that their condition is untreatable, and who are always astounded by the progress that is possible with CBT when provided by an accredited professional.

 

I am a specialist in Depression and Anxiety, including Phobias (using VR), Insomnia, Trauma, Traumatic Grief, Worry (GAD), OCD, Self-esteem, Social & Performance Anxieties, Health Anxiety, and Panic. Treating these conditions really does require a specialist approach, and my average time to full recovery is 12 sessions. For some conditions (e.g. Panic Attacks or Acrophobia) as little as 3 - 4 sessions!
