COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT) IN SHEFFIELD
CBT THERAPY IN SHEFFIELD
What is Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is directive and structured; it puts you in the driving seat and equips you with knowledge and understanding of your inner workings. With this knowledge we work collaboratively to bring change to the areas of your choice.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can work in two ways. We can work quickly; identifying the symptoms which cause you the most distress; applying interventions to remedy the symptoms as quickly as possible. Or we can spend time exploring why these symptoms are occurring in the first place and look to dissolve the root cause which in turn will eradicate the symptoms.
How we work; and how long we spend together; is driven by you and I will help you decide this in our first few sessions.
Pluralistic and Integrative approaches
CBT does not appeal to everyone. Some like a less structured and less directive approach and instead want to come across ideas and realisations on their own. Through a pluralistic intervention we can help identify, and process, issues that have been stored up or locked away. Using the relationship we build, plus creative tools and interventions that suit you as a person, we can tailor a plan that brings maximum results.
Both treatments are valid and can deliver the same outcome; the destination is the same, the journey just a little different.
In our first session we will conduct an assessment as discuss treatment options. You will decide what feels right for you and we will review our progress regularly.
How long does CBT last?
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) uses a scientifically proven method to make change happen. The process is collaborative but can feel more structured and directive than traditional counselling. There are many choices with CBT which enables the process to be tailor made to suit your unique needs. CBT is time limited and in a lot of cases issues can be resolved within 12 sessions.
There may be times when more extended periods of therapy are required; this will be discussed throughout sessions. You will always maintain control of your sessions and when you would like to finish.
EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Dan7 December 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Bod. Particularly for matters of neurodivergence and phobias. I don’t say this lightly but the work we completed in a short period of time has been life changing. Tasha Ravenscroft21 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been having EMDR sessions with Cheryl for about 6 months. In this time she has guided and supported me through some of the toughest times in life, for which I will be forever grateful. She is kind, caring, very welcoming and brilliant at her job. Seeking therapy and especially the process of EMDR can be scary and daunting, but at all times I felt safe, held and understood. I could not recommend Cheryl enough and implore anyone seeking therapy to contact to Cheryl. Victoria Elmore10 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolutely excellent and affordable service perfectly located in the city centre. Cheryl is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone (in fact I have). She is welcoming, warm and an expert in her field. By far the best therapist I’ve ever had. Liv Abbott10 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been working with Cheryl for the last 10 months. This is by far the most collaborative relationship I’ve had with a therapist, as teamwork plays a key role in treatment and recovery. We’ve used talking therapy and EMDR to process previous trauma, which has been life changing. Cheryl has taught me practical tools which I can use on an everyday basis, as well as explaining the theory and psychological/physiological processes at work. My self esteem and emotional regulation have improved massively since I started therapy. I’ve made huge changes in my life and we are constantly reflecting on how to step towards my goals. Great service could not recommend more 🙌 Lola Sami9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Cheryl since September and it’s been one of the most comfortable and affirming experiences I’ve had in therapy. It was because of her sessions that I felt encouraged to seek out an ADHD diagnosis and Cheryl has been invaluable at helping me make sense of the condition. The warmth, empathy and kindness with which she conducts her sessions have been transformative. Having been to therapy before, this is the first time I’ve felt like a therapist has understood me and been able to adequately assess the cause of my difficulties. After having multiple therapeutic experiences that weren’t helpful, I became resigned at the thought that my issues couldn’t be treated. By understanding the cause of my problems and devising ways to treat them, my sessions with Cheryl have imbued in me a newfound hope and optimism and have given me a more positive outlook on my future. T9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cheryl has provided me with so much support in the last 8 months, I cannot thank her enough! Having never been to therapy before, she made me feel so at ease, as she has such a friendly and warm personality! She is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and also compassionate. I feel I have made a lot of progress and I have learned so much from her! Beth Longman9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've seen several different therapists in my life, but none of them have shown the patience, skill, and care of Cheryl. Every time I see her I leave feeling lighter and more hopeful, and I've already made significant progress in the short-time I've been working with her. Georgina Makings9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cheryl is absolutely amazing - super understanding and relatable! I’ve been seeing her for a few months now and she really helps me to stay in check with practical tools / advice - highly reccomended LH9 February 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Cheryl for panic disorder and OCD and I am now recovering. She is a wonderful therapist who is compassionate, patient and real expert in her field. She also understands complex issues indepth. Highly recommended.
