What does CBT entail?
In CBT, clients and therapists work together to understand a persons life experience and how the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours have led to current difficulties being developed and maintained in situations. CBT looks to specifically target and change negative and unhelpful thoughts, beliefs and assumptions, and the unhelpful behaviours and coping strategies that maintain a problem. Sometimes we may also decide to focus on healing the distressing memories connected to a clients past if they impact on their current difficulties.
The number of CBT sessions required during treatment will depend on a clients needs and the level of complexity and severity of their problems. Home practise of skills learnt during therapy sessions will help a client get the most out of sessions.
At Feel Well Therapy we also offer
- Trauma-focused CBT- A form of CBT specifically adapted for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) -A therapy that combines CBT with mindfulness techniques.
Experienced and Accredited CBT Therapists
At Feel Well Therapy we distinguish between therapists who may be using CBT approaches in their therapy and those that are trained to provide formulation based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy due to their enhanced level of training.
All of our CBT Therapists will have either a Diploma or Masters in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Many of our therapists will also have a core training in Social Work, Occupational Therapy, or be a Registered Mental Health Nurse.
They will be accredited with the BABCP the lead regulatory organisation for CBT therapists in the UK and be experienced clinicians.
