CBT starts by making the invisible visible. Most of the thoughts driving how we feel move too fast to notice — they arrive already believed. The first work is simply catching them, in the moment, and writing them down where they can be looked at.
From there we test them. Not with forced positivity, which nobody believes anyway, but with genuine curiosity: is this true, is it always true, and what would I say to someone I loved who told me this about themselves? Alongside that sit behavioural experiments — small, specific changes in what you do, chosen because avoidance is what keeps most anxiety alive.
The CBT offered here is integrated rather than by-the-book. It sits alongside guided imagery, visualization and mindfulness, because thinking your way out of a dysregulated body rarely works on its own.
What a session involves
Sessions tend to have a shape: review how the week went, work on a specific pattern, and agree something small and doable to practise before we meet again.
