What Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an approach that looks at the links between our thoughts, our emotions and how we behave. Focussing more on the here and now, CBT is a therapy in which you and your therapist look for patterns that may be keeping problems going and to develop skills to help you overcome them.

Although we cannot stop or control our thoughts, there are ways in which we can adapt our responses to them thoughts to improve our mood and wellbeing.

What is EMDR?

EMDR Stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing

When a person experiences psychological trauma or highly stressful events, they are not always able to process the relevant information (i.e. thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations). As a result, they can end up getting “stuck” inside of them and can resurface later on, as if the person was still reliving the traumatic or stressful event.

EMDR aims to process negative experiences or events which can subsequently improve emotional well-being and help to significantly reduce, but more often eliminate distressing symptoms and bodily sensations associated with the trauma.

In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) has also acknowledged EMDR as being an effective treatment approach to psychological trauma and trauma-related disorders.
