CBT for Anxiety in the UK

Online session across the UK | In-person offer in Doncaster, South Yorkshire

If you’re struggling with anxiety, it can feel like your mind never switches off, constantly worrying, overthinking, expecting things to go wrong, intrusive thoughts. It can also feel unpleasant in the body and can really mess up your sleep and appetite. You may find yourself putting things off, or avoiding situations, people, places, memories, emotions. Even when there may be no clear reason why.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help you understand what is keeping the anxiety going for you individually and learn practical ways to manage it and reduce the impact it is having on your life.


What anxiety can feel like

CBT focuses upon the connection between thoughts, emotions, physical symptoms and behaviours.

Together, we can work on:

  • Understanding what is keeping the anxiety going for you (the cycle)
  • Looking at what ways of thinking you are/have been experiencing and identifying any patters to these
  • Looking at any avoidance patters and how to deal with them
  • Learning coping strategies that are healthy and individually useful for you
  • Building confidence in situations that you may find difficult at the moment

Remember: the goal is not to rid you of all anxiety (it can actually be helpful to a certain extent and in certain situations!), but to help reduce how much it controls your life


What to expect

Therapy can last as little or as many sessions as you would like. We tend to have 60 minute sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis depending on your preferences.

We will work together to gain an understanding of the problem, what is keeping it going and we will then make a personalised plan together to help you move towards your goals and where you want to be.

It is important that you also put what we have talked about and learnt in sessions into practice between sessions. Without this, it is unlikely that CBT will have any impact. Think of it like physiotherapy: without the exercise in between appointments, you wouldn’t get any better and CBT is the same!
