Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
The mind becomes what it repeatedly focuses on ~ Marcus Aurelius
Understanding anxiety: more than just worry
Anxiety often manifests as a relentless cycle of overthinking, catastrophising, and focusing intensely on potential negatives. You might experience a fear of failure or a constant pressure to achieve perfection. These anxious thought patterns can lead to behaviours like avoidance, withdrawal from social situations, constantly trying to please others, or seeking reassurance repeatedly.
How CBT helps you manage anxiety
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective approach that empowers you to identify and challenge these negative thought patterns. We work together to help you become aware of how your thoughts influence your feelings and behaviours. By understanding these connections, you can begin to break free from unhelpful cycles, transforming behaviours such as constant people-pleasing or seeking reassurance into healthier coping mechanisms.
