Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

CBT is a talking therapy used to encourage individuals to challenge unhelpful thoughts and feelings. CBT is commonly used to tackle many difficulties and conditions including anxiety and depression. At HSR Psychology, we provide CBT to young people who need it.

Who is suitable for CBT?

What happens prior to CBT?

Our process

At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.

An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.

Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:

Step 1: Contact us

We will usually be contacted by the child or young person, parent or carer, or another professional (eg education or health).

You can contact us or complete a referral

What happens during CBT at HSR Psychology?

We provide CBT which takes place within an education, home, community setting or within one of our clinics. The young person or child will often discuss unhelpful thoughts that they have with a member of the HSR Psychology team. Recognising unhelpful thoughts and being able to identify particular feelings will allow the individual to address them properly. We will support the child to work towards breaking the ‘cycle’ which is responsible for their feelings of being trapped and/or emotionally unsteady. The individual will be able to break from this cycle via learning and using effective coping and relaxation techniques.

What happens after CBT?

After CBT the young person will have a greater insight into their thought process and will be able to use effective techniques for maximising their potential. Following CBT it may be suggested we carry out check up sessions, if needed. Outcomes of CBT will be provided to you through a feedback session, or a HSR Psychology report if needed. Support will be given to you throughout the whole intervention process which is why we provide follow up support.

Does CBT come with a report?

Comprehensive reports that can outline ways to support the young person involved are provided by HSR Psychology. We recommend a report following an intervention, which will outline the input provided, the impact of our involvement and recommendations for the future. Read more about what our reports can contain.
