Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between CBT and counselling?
Counselling is a talking therapy which can take many forms and deal with a wide range of personal, emotional and spiritual issues past, present and future.
In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, CBT is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented.
Indeed, much of what the client does is solve current problems. In addition, clients learn specific skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. These skills involve identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviours.
NICE guidelines recommend CBT as a first in line treatment for Depression and Anxiety based problems.
