Private CBT Therapy in Preston and Online

The Therapy Company provides private Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, commonly known as CBT, for adults seeking support with anxiety, depression, panic, phobias and other emotional difficulties.

 

CBT appointments are available face to face from our Preston location and online across the UK, depending on the clinician and your individual needs.

 

Our CBT therapists use a structured, evidence-based approach to help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and develop practical strategies to manage difficulties more effectively.

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 are available in a relaxed and supportive setting at our Preston location or online. Your therapist will work with you to understand the beliefs, assumptions, thoughts and behaviours that may be affecting how you feel and function day to day.

 

CBT often includes practical work between sessions, such as keeping records, completing questionnaires or practising strategies discussed with your therapist.

CBT Benefits

CBT has been proven to be an effective way of treating a number of different mental health conditions such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder, depression, sleep problems, problems related to alcohol misuse, panic disorders, and borderline personality disorders. Although CBT is not a cure for any of the above conditions, it can help individuals to cope significantly better with their symptoms. CBT can be performed as a stand-alone treatment but may also be combined with other treatments such as anti-depressants and other medications if appropriate.

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.

No. You do not need a formal diagnosis before starting CBT. People may seek CBT because anxiety, low mood, stress, panic, phobias or other difficulties are affecting everyday life. The first conversation can help establish whether CBT may be appropriate for what you are experiencing.

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.
