We provide in-person CBT to people in our offices in the Southwell and Newark area of Nottinghamshire and to people across the world via Zoom.
The effectiveness of therapy will be collaboratively reviewed throughout the course of treatment to ensure that it is progressing as it should. Our aim is to provide cognitive behaviour therapy that is consistently clinically excellent.
We work through a structured process consisting of an initial comprehensive assessment assessing suitability of your issues; followed by tailored therapy sessions and closely guided self-management tasks for you to confidently continue your CBT journey.
Cognitive Behavioural Assessment & Therapy
Step 1
Comprehensive Assessment
An assessment appointment is first arranged and this meeting will last for up to 90 minutes. During this time a comprehensive understanding of the main difficulties that you are experiencing will be developed and key factors significant in triggering and perpetuating these problems should be clearly pinpointed. The suitability of addressing these problems using CBT will also be determined.

Step 2
Treatment Plan
A treatment plan will then be formulated at the beginning of therapy and will outline the expected number of sessions required to resolve the main problems identified. Therapy sessions last for 60 minutes and initially occur on a weekly basis where possible. Although it is obviously difficult to be precise in every case, 8 – 15 sessions of CBT are generally sufficient to resolve the majority of problems that people present for help with.

Step 3
Self-directed assignments
CBT is a collaborative process and strategies discussed in therapy are best supported by undertaking ‘homework’ assignments in between sessions, to test out the value of such techniques for each person. Written material and information is provided in support of interventions throughout therapy.
