Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Experts - UK-wide CBT Specialists

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a highly structured and clinically proven treatment for overcoming a wide range of problems including anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, panic attacks, PTSD, social phobia, low self-esteem  and relationship problems. CBT works by using proven psychological techniques to identify and change the hard-wired connections between negative thoughts, distressing emotions, unhelpful behaviours and physical sensations. CBT is usually applied on a time focused basis, however longer-term therapy is also provided where this is helpful to the client. The research evidence shows that CBT is effective in the treatment of long-term conditions rooted in childhood experiences, as well as short-term problems triggered by recent situations or life events.

The published research evidence demonstrates that CBT is highly effective in the treatment of a wide range of psychological problems including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, social phobia, PTSD, eating disorders, chronic fatigue, anger problems, low self-esteem and specific phobias.  Evidence from a large number of research trials, consistently demonstrates that CBT is more effective than other forms of therapy or counselling, matching or outperforming antidepressant medications for anxiety and depression related problems. According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, CBT is “The most effective psychological treatment for moderate and severe depression,” “It is as effective as anti-depressant medication” and “It is one of the most effective treatments where anxiety and depression is the main problem." CBT is endorsed by the Department of Health, National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), British Psychological Society, Royal College of Psychiatrists, Royal College of General Practitioners and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

As a therapist led organisation we are committed to the highest standards of clinical practice, excellent customer service and good value for money. As we are not an online directory or agency service, our clients always work with a member of our own clinical team. This maintains professional standards, ensures service continuity, promotes personal trust and protects client confidentiality.

The referral process is fast and straight forward. CBT appointments can usually begin within a few days of the initial enquiry and we always start with a free initial call to ensure that we can help.

Your therapist will usually request some background information before starting Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This helps to ensure that the CBT sessions are focused on support and therapeutic change rather than spending time on measures and data gathering.

The CBT sessions are highly structured and follow an agreed treatment plan. This involves understanding the background and maintenance factors that keep the problem going, learning new cognitive and behavioural techniques and applying these approaches to the problem.

Whilst the CBT techniques are based on scientific research, the approach itself is highly practical and focused on introducing tangible changes to alleviate suffering and improve personal resilience. You can find out more about how CBT works by following this link to our FAQ page.
