What is CBT?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy focuses on the way people think and act in order to help them overcome their emotional and behavioural problems.
The effectiveness of CBT has been extensively researched more than any other Therapy and has shown that people stay well longer. This positive result is due in part to the educational aspects of CBT which can be applied to help an individual to become their own CBT Therapist. Evidence of this can be seen when reading Testimonials of some people who have accessed with Quayside CBT Ltd.
According to the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) CBT is the chosen form of treatment for the following conditions: Various addictions, anger management, anxiety management, body dysmorphic disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, jealousy, obsessive compulsve disorder (OCD), health anxiety, vomit phobia, phobias, post traumatice stress disorder(PTSD), relationship difficulties, sexual dysfunction, agorophobia, sleep difficulties and performance anxiety.
