CBT In Cheltenham
What Is CBT Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT is based on the theory that our thoughts, feelings, how we behave and how our body feels are all connected. If we change one of these we can also alter the others.
When we feel worried we often fall into negative patterns of thinking and responding which has a negative impact on how we feel. Cognitive behavioural therapy works to help us notice and change negative and problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns in order to make us feel better. CBT has lots of strategies that can help you in the here and now.

How CBT is delivered
CBT can be offered in individual sessions with a therapist or as part of a group. The number of sessions you need depends on the difficulty you need help with. This will usually be between six and twenty sessions, typically of an hour long.
Your therapist can help you to notice any patterns in thinking or behaviours which might be keeping problems going and can offer information about different CBT techniques which could help you.
You and your therapist will discuss your specific difficulties and set goals for you to achieve. CBT is not a quick fix – it involves hard work during and between sessions e.g. keeping track of what you are thinking, feeling and doing, or trying out new ways of thinking or acting. Your therapist will not make decisions for you. They will help you decide what difficulties you want to work on in order to help you improve your situation. Your therapist will be able to advise you on how to continue using CBT techniques in your daily life after your treatment ends.
