Therapy that can make a difference!
CBT is an evidence-based therapy that explores the link between how thoughts can impact how you feel and behave. The therapist and client work together to look at more beneficial thinking styles, creating positive feelings and altering behaviours. CBT has a good evidence base for a wide range of mental health problems in adults, older adults, children and young people. CBT is the first-line treatment for mental health problems and is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. CBT can be used if you are on medication that has been prescribed by your GP. You can also use CBT on its own. This will depend on the difficulty you want help with.
How many sessions will I need?
That all depends on you… We offer individual sessions of CBT and the number of sessions depends on the difficulty you need help with. Sessions will usually be between twelve and twenty sessions and are mostly an hour long. In various cases the session can be an hour and a half depending on what disorder is being treated. An assessment is required to understand your specific difficulties and to set goals that you would like to achieve.
We are able to provide CBT in a wide range of settings such as therapy room, in the comfort of your home, in schools, over the telephone and with Zoom. CBT can be easily accessed especially for those who have busy lives.
NICE recommends CBT for menopause symptoms
CBT was found to reduce the frequency and severity of hot flushes and night sweats and should be considered alongside or as an alternative to HRT, the draft guidance says.
It was also found to help sleep problems related to menopause, including, how long it takes to fall asleep and how long before waking.
The draft NICE guideline recommends more treatment options for managing menopause symptoms as well as enabling a wider understanding of the risks and benefits of HRT.
Some kind words...
I felt very nervous entering therapy but was quickly put at ease by Duncan’s relaxed and calm approach. Although the therapy was challenging at times, Duncan made me feel safe and able to talk freely through my issues.
When Jo worked with our family things improved quickly since Jo involved us as parents in every step of the way while maintaining our children's confidentiality, this helped to achieve lasting change for all of us.
Jo worked with our eldest son who started having difficulties with serious bouts of anxiety. Her regular support resulted in our son's ability to manage his anxiety which meant he has been able to achieve the things he wanted to and is a happy smiling son of ours again. Some education with us as parents while trying to support him tremendously helped us not to cause more problems for him unintentionally.
