How many CBT sessions should I have?

The number of sessions depends on your current circumstances.  The number of CBT sessions required can be between 6-20.  Each session is 50 minutes. Sessions are via telephone, online and in person.  The sessions cost £65 for online/telephone and a room charge is added for in person sessions.

​

How often should I have CBT?

It is recommended that all therapy is started weekly.  It has been show to be most effective to have weekly sessions while getting to know and build rapport with your therapist and getting to the core of your challenges.  It is important at the beginning stages for this reasons.  There is a natural stage when it becomes apparent to both client and therapist biweekly sessions will work better, this is usually when the client has practiced and is ready to try implement tools outside of the session.  There is a feedback loop with your therapist during this process.

​

How does CBT compare to other therapies?

CBT focuses on the ways that a person's cognitions (i.e., thoughts), emotions, and behaviors are connected and affect one another. Because emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are all linked, CBT allows for therapists to intervene at different points in the cycle.
