What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an evidence-based approach that focuses on how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviours. By identifying and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, CBT empowers you to develop healthier perspectives and practical coping strategies.

CBT is highly effective for conditions such as:

  • Anxiety and panic disorders

  • Depression and low mood

  • Stress and burnout

  • Low self-esteem

  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • Relationship difficulties

At Open Horizons Psychology, we tailor CBT to your personal needs and goals, ensuring your treatment is both practical and effective.

How CBT Works at Open Horizons Psychology

  1. Initial Assessment – We explore your challenges, history, and what you hope to achieve.

  2. Identifying Thought Patterns – Together, we pinpoint unhelpful thinking styles that may be contributing to distress.

  3. Learning New Skills – We provide tools to reframe negative thoughts and develop healthier responses.

  4. Applying Strategies – You practise these skills in everyday life to create lasting changes.
