Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy based on the concept that our thoughts, feelings (emotional and physical) and behaviours (what we do) are intrinsically linked. It empowers young people to break unhelpful cycles, improve their mental health and reach their goals.
Therapy sessions are usually 50 minutes long, weekly and delivered in 6 session blocks. CBT is currently offered to young people aged between 10 and 25.
CBT is an evidence-based adaptable therapy found to be effective in treating young people struggling with common mental health/emotional difficulties such as:
- Anxiety (social, anxiety, separation anxiety, generalised anxiety, phobias etc.)
- Low mood and depression
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
- Body image concerns
- Low self-esteem
- Difficulty regulating emotions and behaviour
