CBT Therapy Basingstoke Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Counselling Basingstoke
CBT Therapy in Basingstoke provided by Simon Cook who offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) from his Basingstoke therapy room. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is often abbreviated to CBT and is probably the most well known form of counselling.
CBT therapy involves a close look at your thought patterns and explores how effective they might be in shaping your behaviours. For example, are you holding limiting beliefs about yourself and your abilities which are holding you back and restricting your potential? CBT can help in particular if you are looking for a way to cope with overwhelming thoughts and feelings as it offers a framework and a new way to look at your struggles.
CBT Therapy in Basingstoke
I provide CBT Therapy in Basingstoke as a type of talking therapy that explores how you think (cognitive therapy) and explores what you do (behavioural therapy). I also provide anxiety counselling in Basingstoke and depression counselling in Basingstoke and these areas are very closely linked as people with depressive thoughts and anxious thoughts often find CBT therapy very helpful.
Think of a triangle with thoughts, feelings and behaviours at each of the three points. The idea of CBT is that if we can change one of these points it will then change the other two. For example, if you change how you think it will change how you behave and therefore how you feel. Similarly, if you change how you behave, it will in turn, change how you think and how you feel.
Basingstoke Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
At Find Clarity Counselling I provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Basingstoke but that’s not the only form of counselling I offer. CBT is just one of the ways we can explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Often CBT is short term work to deal with the here and now, to explore what’s happening in the present and it can be seen as a way to develop tools and techniques to cope.
As an integrative counsellor, I use CBT frameworks and I also draw upon other approaches such as Person Centred counselling and Psychodynamic counselling depending on what you need and what’s going to help you most. For example, you might just want to deal with the here and now and you see no benefit in dwelling on the past or trawling back over your childhood. Equally you might prefer a combined approach which provides answers about how your behaviours were formed, where they came from and how you were feeling at the point the cognitive patterns started developing.
Either way, Cognitive Behvioural Therapy in Basingstoke is available at my counselling room very close to Basingstoke Train station and Festival Place shopping centre with free parking on-site. If you’re searching for CBT therapy outside of Basingstoke, we can also meet online.
