At Sentience Counselling Services, we specialize in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment that aids in altering unhelpful thought patterns affecting your behaviour and emotions. This short-term, focused approach assists in distinguishing between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, liberating you from harmful behavioural cycles.
CBT is rooted in the understanding that perceptions, not situations, shape responses and feelings. Our therapy sessions are structured, ensuring clear objectives and productive outcomes. Techniques employed include education, identification of specific problems from your viewpoint, exposure techniques, journalling, thought restructuring, relaxation and coping tools, and mindfulness skills.
CBT effectively addresses issues like generalized and social anxiety, depression, phobias, PTSD, and more. If these concerns resonate, we encourage exploring CBT, designed to adjust thoughts influencing emotions and behaviour, promoting a balanced and healthier mindset.

Understanding Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at Sentience Counselling Services
At Sentience Counselling Services, we specialize in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), an evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatment designed to transform negative thought patterns and behaviours, paving the way for emotional wellbeing and positive change. CBT stands out for its problem-focused, short-term approach, enabling individuals to discern between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and break free from unproductive behaviour cycles.

This means adjusting the thoughts that directly influence emotions and behaviour, leading to a healthier, more balanced life.
CBT is more than just a talking therapy; it is a structured journey towards self-improvement and emotional resilience. If you recognize yourself or someone you know in the issues mentioned above, we warmly invite you to reach out.
