Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) aims to help you to change the way that you think, feel and behave. It is used as a treatment for various mental health and physical problems.  Our cognitive processes are our thoughts which include our ideas, mental images, beliefs and attitudes. Cognitive therapy is based on the principle that certain ways of thinking can trigger, or fuel, certain health problems. For example, anxiety, depression, phobias, etc, but there are others, including physical problems. Emer helps you to understand your current thought patterns. In particular, to identify any harmful, unhelpful, and false ideas or thoughts which you have that can trigger your health problem, or make it worse. The aim is then to change your ways of thinking to avoid these ideas. Also, to help your thought patterns to be more realistic and helpful.

Depression is when you feel that you have no energy, you have no focus and are struggling to engage. Depression is a mental health condition, and one that effects how you live, work and feel. Depression can be managed and treated through counselling and therapy, and the earlier that you engage with treatment, the more effective the outcome. Depression is a very common condition and at any time, 10% of people are suffering from depression.

Counselling is when a Counsellor sees a client in a private and confidential setting. The counsellor enables the client to explore a difficulty or distress they may be experiencing through non-judgemental discussion. The client may be facing a specific issue such as stress or depression, or they may have just reached a point in their life where they are concerned about a lack or purpose or direction. By helping the client discuss and define their difficulties, the counsellor will help the client find a solution to their distress. The counsellor will help the client to understand what is causing their issue and will help the client develop the coping mechanisms to deal with it. All of our therapists offer ‘distance therapy’. Distance therapy is where you engage with your therapist over the phone or through video chat (via a platform like Skype). The choice of how you want to engage with your therapist is up to you. We work to make sure that they accommodate your preferences. Distance therapy ensures that you get access to the best and most suitable counsellor (who may not work in your area) while also ensuring that therapy is convenient for you. You can schedule your sessions during the day or after work. Distance therapy is clinically proven to be as effective as face-to-face therapy and our counsellors are expert in its delivery.
