CBT explores the relationship between unhelpful thoughts, behaviours and emotions which can influence each other in repetitive and unhelpful patterns, thus maintaining the problem and our distress. A CBT therapist aims to break this vicious cycle by employing a range of techniques aiming to teach the client how to manage problems and situations. For example, by evaluating and modifying unhelpful thinking to be adaptive and healthier and by exploring behavioural patterns and experimenting with new ways of being, emotional wellbeing can be improved.
CBT has a fantastic evidence base for a wide range of mental health problems. This research has been carefully reviewed by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), who provide independent, evidence-based recommendations for the NHS on the most effective treatment options for ill health.
