Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Welcome to our informative page on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). We believe it is important to provide you with valuable insights into the benefits of CBT. Whether you are seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges, CBT can be a highly effective approach to help you overcome these difficulties.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, commonly referred to as CBT, is a evidence-based form of therapy that focuses on the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It is a structured and goal-oriented approach that aims to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs, and replace them with more positive and adaptive ones.
One of the key advantages of CBT is its proven effectiveness. Numerous studies have shown that CBT can be highly successful in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and many others. In fact, research has indicated that CBT can be as effective as medication in treating certain conditions.
Another benefit of CBT is its focus on practical strategies and techniques. Unlike some other forms of therapy that may delve into the past or explore deep-rooted issues, CBT is primarily concerned with the present and future. It provides individuals with practical tools and skills to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in real-life situations. These strategies can be applied immediately, allowing individuals to see tangible results and improvements in their daily lives.
Furthermore, CBT is a time-limited therapy. This means that it is typically a shorter-term treatment compared to other therapeutic approaches. The structured nature of CBT allows individuals to work towards their goals in a focused and efficient manner. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who prefer a more solution-focused and results-oriented approach.
Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of our counselling services. We understand the importance of providing a safe and secure environment for our clients to share their thoughts and feelings.

Katrina Coelho
I am an integrative counsellor with a BA (Hons) in Counselling, and five years of training and experience. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to professional and ethical standards and will soon be fully qualified. My passion lies in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients from all walks of life can explore their emotions, challenges, and personal growth in a way that feels right for them.
I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and take a holistic approach to therapy, looking at the whole person rather than just their immediate challenges. I consider the mind, body, emotions, and personal experiences, ensuring that my clients feel truly seen and understood. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy, acceptance, and a commitment to providing a space free from judgment.
I am excited to continue this journey, supporting individuals in their personal growth and helping them discover a deeper sense of wholeness and empowerment.
