West Coast CBT

15/09/2022

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy teaches us how to identify the connections between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours in both every day situations, and major events in our life. You can learn to think about situations (and yourself!) in more helpful ways, and to change the thinking patterns and behaviours that might keep you stuck in distressing moods and relationships.

Please message to book in for a free consultation, and to take advantage of our current discounted session rates. ✨

When dealing with anxiety, many problems can’t be dealt with using a ‘let it go’ attitude… but some can! CBT will teach you the difference between current and hypothetical worries, how to problem solve and manage current worries and how to let go of those endless ‘what if’ hypothetical worries.

If you’re dealing with worry or anxiety and would like some support, please drop the page a message to book in for a free brief consultation to see how CBT can help you.

Journaling is a great way to maintain our well-being, but also to work on our mental health. Through journaling, we can identify patterns and thinking styles and begin to make positive changes.

If you are local to the Ayrshire area, Minds Over Matter offer a free to attend drop in group, where you can chat about all things mental health, engage in various activities or just have a cuppa and a catch up with some like minded people. They run groups every Friday evening in Kincaidston. Check out their page for further info.

If you would like further support on using CBT to work on your thoughts and feelings through journaling, message us to book in for a free consultation.

Nothing changes, if nothing changes! CBT not only looks at our thoughts and feelings, but also our behaviours. Anxiety can be managed by tackling things in a graded manner to face our fears. The effects of depression can be eased by slowly but surely building activity. Experimenting with our behaviour is a key way to make lasting change.
