What Is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based talking therapy that helps you to identify unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviour that causes emotional distress.

By focusing on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, CBT empowers you to develop healthier coping mechanisms to achieve lasting change. This is done through relaxation methods, mindfulness exercises, role-playing and self-monitoring to track progress.

At Dr Jo Gee Psychotherapy, we specialise in delivering tailored CBT services to help with a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), problems with stress and self-esteem, and more.

Appointments are available in our clinic in Guildford, Surrey or from the convenience of your home online. Wherever you are, we’re here to support you on your journey to better mental health.

CBT Techniques

In CBT sessions, you and your therapist will work together to:

  • Identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns
  • Develop practical coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety
  • Implement positive behavioural changes to promote overall well-being

Your therapist may also use various techniques, including:

  • Relaxation methods to manage stress
  • Mindfulness exercises to help you stay present
  • Role-playing to practice new behaviours
  • Self-monitoring or keeping a journal to track progress

These tools help you to better understand your emotions, thoughts and behaviours, allowing you to make meaningful changes in everyday life beyond the therapy room.

What to Expect from CBT

A typical CBT session includes:

  • Reviewing progress and setting goals
  • Exploring thought patterns and behaviours in depth
  • Agreeing on exercises or activities to practice between sessions

CBT also encourages active participation beyond the therapy room, such as keeping a journal, completing worksheets or practicing new skills in real-life situations. This hands-on approach reinforces the strategies you learn in sessions to ensure long-term success.
