Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Wirral
What is CBT Therapy?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy that helps you recognise how your negative feelings, thoughts, and behaviours fuel your problems and make them worse.
The aim of CBT is to change the way you think and behave by noticing how your thoughts and actions influence one another.
Our CBT therapists help adults, teenagers, and children who are suffering from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and other mental health problems.

How does CBT Therapy work?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy teaches you how your thoughts and actions play a vital role in your emotional state. These emotional states can make you feel stuck or do things you will regret later.
Negative emotional states can be a vicious circle. You find yourself in a difficult situation, which produces negative thoughts and creates negative feelings, and emotions. The negative feelings can feel overwhelming to the point where you make a bad choice. Making a bad choice leads to more negative thoughts. The cycle continues until we are struggling with depression or anxiety.
When your mood is low, it’s extremely difficult to snap out of it and get on with your life. It’s very hard to change how you feel but changing the way you think and behave is much easier. Changing the way you think and behave will break the cycle and avoid more low moods in the future.
