What Is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?
Working with a CBT therapist helps you understand and change the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that keep you stuck. CBT is a practical, structured form of therapy that equips you with proven techniques to break unhelpful cycles and move toward your goals.
CBT is backed by decades of research and is the most widely recommended treatment for common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and OCD. According to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), CBT is a first-line treatment for these disorders.
CBT is typically short-term—lasting 6 to 20 sessions—which means you can experience lasting improvements in a relatively short time.
At GetCBT, our private therapists offer both in-person CBT at our Wirral clinic and secure online sessions for UK and international clients.
How Does CBT Work?
A skilled CBT therapist combines Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy techniques:
- Cognitive Therapy targets unhelpful thought patterns, helping you shift rigid, negative thinking that keeps you feeling low or anxious.
- Behavioural Therapy uses evidence-based strategies to help you change how you respond to challenges, so you can act in line with your values and overcome avoidance and fear.
Your therapy is tailored to your individual needs, using both approaches to support deep and sustainable change.
Looking for a Private CBT Therapist or EMDR Therapist?
GetCBT also provides access to highly qualified EMDR therapists for trauma-focused treatment.
Whether you're searching for a CBT therapist, EMDR therapist, or a trusted private therapist, we’re here to help.

Third Wave CBT for OCD, Anxiety & More – Expert Private Therapy in Wirral
At GetCBT, we offer advanced Third Wave CBT therapies delivered by experienced CBT therapists in Wirral and online.
These include:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
- Mindfulness-Based Interventions
- Inference Based CBT (for OCD)
These modern approaches are backed by strong emerging evidence and are especially useful for individuals dealing with OCD, chronic anxiety, depression, and other hard-to-treat conditions.
What Is Third Wave CBT?
While traditional CBT focuses on changing the content of negative thoughts, Third Wave CBT helps you change how you relate to those thoughts and emotions. It emphasizes:
- Mindfulness – staying present and grounded
- Acceptance – allowing emotions without resistance
- Self-compassion – treating yourself with kindness
- Values-based action – making choices that align with what truly matters to you
This approach can reduce emotional distress, increase psychological flexibility, and improve quality of life—making it especially effective for OCD and treatment-resistant symptoms.
Why Choose a Private CBT Therapist in Wirral?
If you’ve previously tried therapy or CBT with limited success, integrating ACT or CFT or ACT with traditional CBT might be the breakthrough you need. Our private therapists in Wirral offer tailored support, whether you're dealing with OCD, anxiety, low self-esteem, or chronic stress.
Combining Third Wave CBT with standard CBT strategies can:
- Improve motivation and emotional understanding
- Enhance long-term outcomes
- Help you respond more effectively to intrusive thoughts (especially relevant for OCD)
We offer in-person appointments at our Wirral clinic, as well as online sessions across the UK and internationally.
