One of the techniques which I practice is known as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). CBT is recommended by the NICE guidelines for depression and anxiety disorders. This means that extensive research studies have proved that CBT can be an effective treatment.
This is a popular and well evidenced form of short term therapy which looks at the negative cycles of depression and anxiety which we can all experience at times in our lives. It explores techniques for changing patterns of though and behaviour which keep us trapped in negative cycles.
CBT offers a practicle way for us to break out these cycles and move forward with life.
As with any change we make in our lives, CBT can be challenging: Therapy requires a commitment to attending appointments and doing set exercises in your own time between sessions. I will work with you to help overcome your difficulties, and will provide you with the tools which will help beyond our work together. It's important to remember that the more you commit to treatment, the more you will find it helpful for you.
