What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

CBT helps you change the way you think about yourself, the world and other people.It also helps you to understand how your actions affect your thoughts and feelings and, therefore, how your thoughts and your feelings affect your actions.

CBT will help you change how you think (Cognitive) and change what you do (Behavioural). It will focus on the here and now in order to help you make the changes you want; NOW. Click here to learn more about CBT and how it is used for drug and alcohol treatment.

How does it work?

CBT can help you make sense of what may seem overwhelming by breaking it down into smaller parts. This makes it easier to see how things are connected and how they affect you.

How you think about a problem can affect you both physically and emotionally. But, most importantly, it can affect what you do about it.

From a past client: And then there is …… the gym. I have continued Num’s rigorous programme. Actually I am doing even more. I don’t believe I have ever been in the physical shape I am in now, and this I can tell you that it is a source of considerable pride. I stare at myself in the mirror almost as often as the vain Master Num himself! Click here to read more testimonials.
