How I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in counselling?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on how we think about a situation, how this makes us feel (emotionally and physically) and how we behave when those things occur. Sometimes we don’t know why we behave in a certain way or why we are triggered. I will work with you initially using counselling techniques to help you identify any thoughts or behaviours which are unhelpful and could be changed. The aim of CBT is for you to learn techniques and strategies to help you manage situations more effectively.
How long does CBT take to work?
