Cognitive behavioural therapy London

Harrison Psychology Group specialises in providing CBT Therapy in London. This type of therapy focusses on changing our thinking habits and behaviours. The way we think about ourselves, others and the world has everything to do with the way we feel and function. If we harbour critical beliefs about ourselves, we likely elicit feelings of sadness or depression. If we perpetually think that certain things will go wrong in our near or distant future, we will likely feel quite anxious. If we believe others are attacking our character, we likely elicit feelings of anger or perhaps shame and so on and so forth.

In CBT therapy, the therapist and client work together to directly addresses problematic thinking. By learning how to question and challenge unhelpful thoughts, clients become skilled at developing more rational and logical ways of seeing themselves, others and the world around them. This, in turn, positively improves mood and functioning as well as enhances our relationship with ourselves and others.

When should I get CBT?

A good rule of thumb is that your way of being in the world is not a problem unless it’s causing a problem. No one is perfect and we all struggle in some ways within ourselves and in our relationships with others. This is perfectly normal. If, however, you find that your struggles begin to negatively impact your relationships, work-life, confidence, productivity, engagement in life or your ability to function day to day then it’s likely a good time to seek help. Research shows us that CBT is a very effective therapy for a multitude of problems including anxiety, depression, relationship strain, OCD, low self confidence, anger issues and more.
