Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.

​

CBT can be successful at tackling many issues such as:

​

Anxiety, panic and phobias
OCD (obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
Anger problems
Disordered eating
Depression
Self-harm
Sleep problems
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Drug, alcohol and smoking habits
Hoarding

​

CBT differs from many other therapies because it’s:

​

Pragmatic – it helps identify specific problems and tries to solve them

Highly structured – rather than talking freely about your life, you and your therapist discuss specific problems and set goals for you to achieve

​

Focused on current problems – it’s mainly concerned with how you think and act now rather than attempting to resolve past issues

​

Collaborative – your therapist will not tell you what to do; they’ll work with you to find solutions to your current difficulties

​

CBT aims to stop negative cycles by breaking down things that make you feel bad, anxious or scared. By making your problems more manageable, CBT can help you change your negative thought patterns and improve the way you feel.
