Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Service

CBT leaflet

Latest Annual Report

Psychological therapists in the CBT Service use a variety of ideas and techniques for addressing thinking and behaviour patterns in order to understand, manage and overcome psychological problems. CBT is a practical therapeutic approach, in which clients and therapists work together to identify and reach a shared under-standing of problems in terms of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

The focus of therapy is on addressing present difficulties rather than exploring the past, and involves learning and practicing specific cognitive and behavioural strategies, both within the sessions and in everyday life, to help clients generate more helpful solutions to manage their difficulties.

CBT can be effective for those experiencing problems such as

anxiety and panic disorder,
obsessive compulsive disorder,
phobias,
post traumatic stress disorder,
chronic fatigue syndrome,
compulsive difficulties such as gambling,
non acute psychosis and bi-polar disorder

In addition to individual therapy, the CBT service offers psycho-educational group work courses for people with depression and non-acute phase psychosis and bi-polar disorder.
