CBT Cotswold - Expert therapy based in the Cotswolds

What is CBT?

CBT is a talking therapy that focuses on the here and now. It is time limited, working on clients' goals that involve out of session practice. What we think can affect how we feel and how we behave, and this in turn can have a negative impact on our lives. Clients and therapists work together to identify and understand problems in terms of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, working within an individual map (formulation) that guides the treatment using specific models that are evidence based. It can help people with a wide range of mental health problems:

Depression
Agoraphobia
Panic Disorder
Phobias
Eating Disorders
Health Anxiety
Obsessional Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Generalised Anxiety Disorder
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
