What is CBT: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an evidence based short term psychological therapy with a significantly robust research base. It is a very structured, goal orientated and practical approach helping people resolve problems starting with assessment and formulation. Through the development of the clinical formulation we can understand the interplay between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT focuses upon changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours which undermine self confidence and can lead to depression and anxiety disorders. CBT focuses on 'here and now' problems and experiences rather than analysing past experiences.
What can CBT help with: A wide range of psychological problems including trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders including phobias, depression and panic disorder. It can also work with ruminative experiences, worry and stress and low self esteem.

What is EMDR: Eye movement desensitisation reprocessing is an evidence based structured therapy which has a robust research base and utilises the clients own healing capacity. EMDR seems to directly affect how the brain functions and processes information. Typically delivered using eye movements for the bi-lateral stimulation method, it reduces the vividness and emotionality associated with past memories. Originally used for PTSD it now has varied applications and can be used to recover from psychological issues including early life trauma and adversity which remain unprocessed.
