CBT / Psychotherapy
CBT is known as Psychotherapy as opposed to Counselling. The reason for this is that CBT helps us to make sense of our early life experiences and the ways in which these have led to us developing self-defeating patterns of behaviour that often lie behind our recurring problems and difficulties in work, social and familial settings. Have you ever wondered how or why ‘I always end up being……..’
The reason for exploring early life experiences is not necessarily to uncover experiences of trauma, neglect, abuse etc, although these have been some peoples experiences. Often the experiences that have led to the problems are far more subtle. Either way, it is never about fault or blame but about understanding and making sense. Bringing from the unconscious the issues that keep getting in your way.
The foundation of successful Therapy will always lie in a strong Therapeutic Relationship with your Therapist. This is a ‘collaborative’ relationship within which you are always consulted and involved, for example, how many sessions you will have, what you want therapy to focus on each week. The relationship will be built upon the core conditions of Genuineness, Acceptance and Empathy.

Our Clinical Lead will then contact you via email or telephone to gather some brief details before allocating you to the most suitable therapist, or indeed to the therapist of your choice.
Referrals to members of the ACT Counselling Service team can be made by following the processes outlined above. At the point of referral, should none of the ACT Therapists be suitable or indeed if a different counselling modality is preferable our clinical lead will offer advice and signpost to other local counselling services that may be more suitable based on the needs of the enquirer.
