What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in Newcastle upon Tyne’s Jesmond Therapy Centre can help you deal with your current problems (rather than issues from the past) by changing the way you think and behave. It looks for practical and positive ways to improve your state of mind.
How many CBT sessions will I need?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is usually offered as a short to medium term psychotherapy for both adults, children and young people and is suitable for treating a wide range of commonly experienced emotional and behavioural problems. The main focus of the work lies in learning how to identify and manage vicious cycles of thoughts, emotions and behaviour patterns so the client and therapist can together begin to see how to break out of these patterns to find a more fulfilling way to live in the present.
Unlike other psychotherapies where you are encouraged to talk freely, in a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy session, the client and therapist work together to identify how the client habitually thinks about themselves, the world and other people and how this influences their emotions and actions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves talking with the therapist every week or fortnight and may also include other activities such as keeping a diary or trying out new ways of responding to situations in between sessions.
Overall, the number of sessions you need will depend on your individual problems and objectives, although we do recommend at least a minimum of six sessions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in Newcastle upon Tyne for Children and Young People
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can also be successful in helping children and young people with various mental health challenges. It focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are interconnected and how changing negative thought patterns can lead to positive behavioural changes. It helps children to understand the relationship between their thoughts, feelings and behaviours; to identify negative or unhelpful thought patterns and learn to reframe their negative thoughts, replacing them with more realistic or helpful ones.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy teaches clients how to become more aware of, and take control of, their own emotional health and wellbeing. It is the favoured approach for treating common mental health disorders amongst many organisations including the NHS and has a good evidence base for its effectiveness. It can help to reduce anxiety, including fears, worries and phobias. Improves mood and enhances problem solving skills, assisting clients to learn to identify solutions to challenges they face.
