Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or "CBT" is a psychological approach or "talking therapy" that can help with a wide range of emo tional issues and mental health problems. CBT is a proven evidence based treatment that focuses on the here and now although some reference maybe made to the past in order to understand how problems may have developed and what triggers them. However, the main focus of treatment is on learning to identify and challenge negative thought patterns or beliefs that are no longer helpful to you. Therapy may also involve exploring more practical ways of helping you deal differently with day to day situations and develop new coping strategies that are more effective or helpful to you... CBT offers a structured, open and collaborative approach. Following assessment of your difficulties an agreed problem list with goals will be set and reviewed through out therapy. The focus of treatment is not just what is discussed in the session but also what happens outside therapy...
