CBT is Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy;
an active, directive, time limited and structured clinical approach used
to assess and treat a variety of psychological disorders including:
Anxiety
and Stress related disorders
Depression
Phobias
Pain problems
Based on an
underlying theoretical rationale that an individual’s mood and behaviour is
largely determined by the way he or she structures the world. Highly
positive outcomes can be achieved for both employees and employer,
within a time limited
period, depending on the severity of the
condition.
Cognitive techniques are aimed at identifying and challenging
an individual patient’s specific and learned irrational assumptions. The
approach is designed to teach how an individual can recognise connections
between cognition, affect and behaviour then to substitute more reality
–orientated interpretations for their biased thoughts.
Clients, and referred staff, gain access to
very
experienced and professional Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists who
work with them to achieve best possible outcomes.
We will also provide case advice
which can be used by management and occupational health personnel to
make decisions about employability under the Disability Discrimination Act
(1995) and employment law.
Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy is evidence based and collaborative.
The CBT patient is always treated as an equal where information is
shared.
Our objective is to obtain
wherever possible a return to normal working (and life) for
all individuals accepted into Psychotherapy.
