Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) at our Edinburgh centre

We are pleased to offer cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) at our Edinburgh centre. CBT draws on psychological ideas to look at very specific issues or difficulties, such as anxiety, stress or depression. It focuses on the thinking patterns creating and maintaining the presenting problem/s, identifying their links with emotions and behaviours.

CBT encompasses a range of techniques, all of which are very active and expect clients to start making changes in what they do.

CBT is usually of slightly shorter duration than counselling, often lasting for between six and 12 sessions. This is mainly because it places more emphasis on the client to learn techniques and skills they can then apply by themselves. Of course, this is not always easy or possible, hence CBT doesn't suit everybody nor is it always the best approach in particular circumstances (e.g. dealing with feelings of grief).
