So what is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy? 

Your CBT Therapist will help you to identify and change the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that cause distress and make it difficult for you to achieve life goals. You will then be supported to implement tried and tested techniques and interventions that will disrupt the maintaining features of the problem. 

CBT is the most highly recommended psychotherapy for most common mental health issues. Please visit the National Institute of Clinical Excellence website for the latest guidance about the issue you're experiencing. 

CBT offers a short term therapy solution (usually from 6-20 sessions) and this makes it appealing because its benefits can be felt more quickly and last longer compared to other treatments.

GetCBT offers face to face appointments in our Wirral clinic and online, Internationally.

Did you know that Cognitive Therapy is different to Behavioural Therapy? 

Cognitive Therapy focuses on your thoughts and how they can become altered and more rigid when you are feeling bad. Changing how your think makes it easier to change how you manage, cope and behave which will in turn help you to feel better. 

Behavioural Therapy is based on learning theory and helps us to exercise more control of our own behvaviours and use them to overcome unwanted feelings and achieve our most regarded values. In turn, we start to view what we once considered obstacles and how to approach them, differently. 

A good CBT Therapist uses each approach specifically to meet your needs.

Watch a BABCP short animation about CBT or visit the GetCBT Blog which looks at specific problems and treatment approaches we offer.

When you are ready to find your Private CBT Therapist then don’t hesitate to get in touch.

GetCBT also offers Private “Third wave” CBT treatments such as:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT)
• Mindfulness

These treatments are gaining traction from a strong emerging evidence base and the ease of integration with existing CBT therapies. 

Third wave CBT treatments can be effective for clients experiencing issues considered 'hard to treat' or 'treatment resistant'. 

Want to know more?

Third wave therapies can be complimentary to traditional CBT approaches, but go beyond the focus of the content of a person's thoughts and internal experiences in order to reduce or eliminate unwanted symptoms (such as difficult emotions). 

Instead, the focus is on the context, processes, and functions of how a person relates to internal experiences (i.e., thoughts, urges, sensations). And often, in pursuit of this goal,  the reduction or elimination of symptoms is a side benefit. 

Concepts such as metacognition, acceptance, mindfulness and personal values can be used alongside traditional CBT interventions which can increase psychological flexibility and resilience. 

When offered as a standalone treatment, ACT and CFT offer a different approach which can be effective for those who have already tried CBT. When used in combination, these interventions can improve motivation, understanding and approach  making CBT more successful.
