CBT Programme at St James’s Gate Medical

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

· Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapeutic approach which is used to treat a range of emotional difficulties, as well as the psychological impact of physical health problems. The CBT therapy approach provides a model for understanding the relationships between our thoughts, feelings, behaviour, or actions and how we physically feel within ourselves.

· Different CBT models have been developed for working with different issues or difficulties, but generally the approach focuses on developing a deeper understanding of the thought patterns and behaviours maintaining a problem. CBT therapy can be used to treat a range of conditions (please see the treatment section for further information).

· Through direct work with the individual, the CBT therapist will assess the individual’s thoughts, behaviours, feelings and physical sensations, and how they interrelate. From this initial assessment, a therapeutic plan is developed to help them overcome the problem or difficulty with which they’re struggling.
