CBT Therapy in UK

How Does It Work?

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) works by helping you to examine your current feelings, thoughts and emotions without judgement. CBT is widely used for people suffering from anxiety disorders such as Generalised Anxiety Disorders. CBT truly helps to understand how your thoughts affect your behaviour which then leads to both physical and emotional issues. It’s the self-awareness and questioning of this type of talking therapy that makes it such a successful type of therapy for many.

 

Once negative thoughts are identified, further work can then be done to replace the past irrelevant thoughts with new ones that will serve you moving forwards. In addition to dealing with present problems, you will learn skills to deal with problems that may arise in the future.

Our CBT Sessions

CBT sessions will be carried out in a very relaxed and comfortable environment at our Preston location or online. Within these sessions, our therapists will take the time to understand your beliefs and underlying assumptions that you may be carrying about yourself and those around you. Our therapist in UK will also help you understand how your current thoughts are having a negative impact on your current behaviours and actions that you may not even be conscious about.

 

Once this self-awareness has been brought about and you feel safe in this knowledge, we will then start to try and change those thoughts and behaviours at your own pace. Some work may be necessary outside of the sessions such as answering questionnaires and keeping records.

What is CBT therapy?

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, is a type of talking therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. It focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing more helpful ways of responding to situations, emotions, and challenges.

CBT works by helping you examine your thoughts and feelings without judgement and understand how they may be affecting your behaviour and emotional wellbeing. Once negative or unhelpful patterns have been identified, therapy focuses on building practical strategies to challenge them and replace them with more helpful ways of thinking and coping.

CBT is commonly used to support people experiencing anxiety disorders, depression, panic disorders, phobias, sleep problems, eating disorders, and difficulties related to alcohol misuse. It may also help with other emotional and behavioural challenges by giving people practical tools to manage symptoms more effectively.

During a CBT session, your therapist will help you explore your beliefs, assumptions, thoughts, and behaviours in a safe and supportive way. Sessions are focused on helping you understand how your current thinking may be affecting your day-to-day life and working with you to make gradual, realistic changes at a pace that feels manageable.

Yes, CBT may involve some work between sessions, such as completing questionnaires, keeping records, or practising strategies discussed in therapy. This is designed to help you build awareness, apply what you are learning, and make progress outside of the therapy room as well as during sessions.

Yes, The Therapy Company offers CBT sessions both in person at its Preston location and via highly secure online appointments. This allows people to access support in the way that feels most practical and comfortable for them.

CBT can be used as a stand-alone treatment for some people, but it may also be combined with other forms of support where appropriate. Depending on individual needs, this could include other therapies or medication as part of a wider treatment plan.

CBT may be helpful for people who want a practical, structured approach to understanding and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. It can be a useful option for those looking to manage symptoms more effectively, build coping skills, and improve their day-to-day wellbeing.
