Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in York

CBT in York

Life is full of challenges, and sometimes our thoughts and emotions can become overwhelming or difficult to manage. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by worry, anxiety, or depression, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can be a powerful tool for change.

At York Therapy Clinic, we offer CBT in York – a structured, evidence-based form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress.

Unlike some other therapies that delve deeply into the past, CBT emphasises addressing present problems and developing coping skills for a brighter future, and can help people challenge negative thinking as well as build more helpful patterns of behaviour to overcome their problems.

How Does CBT in York Work?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that it’s not necessarily the situations themselves that cause us problems, but rather the way we think about and interpret them.

When we fall into negative thinking patterns or develop unhelpful responses to situations, it can create a cycle of distress.

CBT helps you identify these unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to challenge and change them. During our sessions of CBT in York, you’ll might work collaboratively with your therapist to:

Identify negative thought patterns: Learn to recognise unhelpful thinking patterns that may be contributing to your difficulties.
Learn to challenge negative thoughts: Develop skills to challenge and reframe negative thoughts into more helpful ones.
Develop effective coping skills: Learn practical strategies to manage difficult emotions and cope with challenging situations more effectively.
Break the cycle of negative thinking and behaviour: Whether this is related to difficulties with worry, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma or other difficulties.

By learning to change your thinking patterns, you can learn to manage your emotions more effectively and cope with difficult situations in a healthier way.
