Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are closely connected. Sometimes, without realising it, we develop patterns of thinking and responding that can contribute to anxiety, low mood, self-doubt and emotional distress.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based, structured, goal-focused approach that helps you recognise and understand these patterns, explore how they influence your emotions and behaviour, and develop practical strategies for positive change.
CBT is not simply about thinking positively. It is about recognising unhelpful thoughts, considering alternative perspectives, and responding to life's challenges in healthier, more balanced ways.
CBT can support people experiencing a range of difficulties, including:
Anxiety, excessive worry and overthinking
Depression and low mood
Low self-esteem and confidence
Stress and emotional overwhelm
Fears, phobias and avoidance behaviours
Unhelpful thinking patterns and self-critical beliefs
Difficulties with emotional regulation
Life transitions and personal challenges
At Look Within Therapy, we tailor CBT to your individual needs, experiences, and therapeutic goals.
Together, we explore what may be contributing to your difficulties, identify patterns keeping you stuck, and develop practical strategies to support meaningful, lasting improvement.
CBT is a collaborative process that helps you build greater self-awareness, develop confidence in managing difficult situations, and strengthen your ability to navigate future challenges.
The aim is not to change who you are, but to help you understand what may be holding you back and discover what you are capable of.
If you recognise yourself in any of these experiences, CBT may be a helpful starting point.
I offer a free initial telephone consultation to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and explore which therapeutic approach may suit you best.
