What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

It might be useful to firstly share what CBT is not…
1.. It is not unduly stressful
2.. It is not harsh or judgemental
3.. It is not a quick fix approach

CBT is a modern approach to therapy… that aims to work as simply as possible with the way the human nervous system is naturally designed to improve and make progress… versus the way traditional therapy could be quite confrontative in nature. For instance, a gentle step by step approach assists changes in the way you think and/or behave… that is more normal and natural… so therapy is then a process that is paced to suit your own specific and individual needs.

I work with people face to face in Falkirk (in central Scotland) and online throughout the whole of Scotland, the United Kingdom as well as internationally.
