COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY
CBT is the therapy of choice for a number of mental health problems (NICE 2008). For example: depression, anxiety, phobias, OCD, Trauma and unresolved grief.
​
CBT refers to a method of psychotherapy that aims to reduce distress by altering problematic behaviour and unhelpful thinking patterns. Hawton et al (2004) suggests that the client and therapist work together to identify and understand problems in terms of the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviour. There is a reliance on both to develop a shared view of the individual’s problem. This then leads to the identification of goals and strategies designed to overcome the problem. Much of the treatment is in the here and now and there is an assumption that the main goal of therapy is to help the clients bring about desired changes in their lives. Formal therapy is structured and time-limited.
