When looking for a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) PLEASE check..

1) How/where/when did they qualify?

2) Are they registered with the BABCP (British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists).

3) Are they insured? (the other 2 questions will influence this).

4) Can they explain themselves in a way that makes sense to you and they genuinely seem to want and seemigly able to help you with actual tools/strategies and techniques. They should be able to tell you what they will do to help you with your goals that manages your expectations.

You don’t have to work with me, but please ensure you get credible, qualified, honest and evidence based help and support. There are some amazing therapists and some absolute shockers (typically as they don’t have the answers to my questions above).
Private therapy is a significant financial investment that you should expect a return on.

*Please Note: Although (sadly) being appropriately qualified doesn’t automatically make for a good therapist, it significantly can help positively influence the information and support you’ll receive.

To overcome a fear, at some point you will need to face the fear. Prolonged avoidance only provides temporary relief, and the underlying issue persists.

Last week, I was assisting a client with panic disorder, a condition characterised by an intense fear of experiencing physical feelings of anxiety (panicking about panicking).

A triggering sensation can be a feeling hot and sweaty. Through collaborative efforts, we gradually assessed and confronted the client’s fears, employing techniques such as fear grading and exposure therapy. Notably, we successfully held our appointment with the heating turned up and a fan blowing hot air!!
This achievement represents a significant milestone in the client’s journey towards transforming their lives.
I had a drink and an ice-cream straight after 😌

I popped back to at the weekend.
I was lovely to have a wonder and a ponder.
Here’s the actual lecture theatre I was formally introduced to counter factual thinking.
Little did I know all these years later, I’d be talking every day about catastrophising and mind reading 🤷🏻‍♂️

TALKING
•
•
•
One of the first and most impactful things a person could do to ease anxiety is to talk about it.

• You are not weird
• You are not going mad
• You are not broken
• You are not cracking up
• You can get help
• You are not alone......
You are feeling the effects of an emotion. Learn about it, gain some tools, strategies and help. It is possible to make massive improvements with support.
