All About CBT for Anxiety in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

About CBT for Anxiety

CBT for Anxiety is an effective way to overcome the emotional distress caused by anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) was developed by Aaron Beck in the 1960s.

Beck observed that people’s inner-thoughts hold greater significance than what they express verbally during therapy.

These inner-thoughts, known as cognition, have a direct impact on the emotions individuals experience.

In other words, emotional experiences can be seen as a form of behaviour.

CBT revolves around the central concept that the way people think directly influences how they feel.

For those experiencing anxiety, their emotions are a result of the meaning they attribute to their experiences.

How does CBT for Anxiety work?

Normally a programme of CBT for Anxiety takes place over a period of 10 to 20 weeks with an hour long session once per week.

Firstly, because the way you think about your day-to-day experiences is determined by your core beliefs, the early sessions of CBT for Anxiety involve exploring and measuring these beliefs.

Secondly, once you are able to uncover your core beliefs, your thoughts about certain experiences will make more sense.

Thirdly, by understanding how you have made sense of your experiences in the past you can then begin to make changes to your thoughts and beliefs in order to create new, and more useful, emotional outcomes.

CBT for Anxiety builds upon the 5 core CBT principles developed by Aaron Beck.

How many sessions of CBT for Anxiety will I need?

Whilst this is a diificult question to be precise about, most people will be able to overcome their emotional distress in around 10 sessions.

However, because CBT for Anxiety is always tailored to your own individual needs and circumstances, getting the outcome that you want may sometimes require more sessions.

If you have been suffereing Anxiety problems for many years and your level of Anxiety is quite high, then in all likelihood, you can reasonably expect to take a bit longer to get where you want to be.

Our Tranceformental CBT for Anxiety programme is based on 10 sessions delivered over 10 weeks and uses an online learning platform for you to develop greater self-awareness and knowledge in the days between sessions.

Our Tranceformental CBT for Anxiety programme costs £799 which includes access to the online learning platform for a period of 16 weeks, 10 X 1 hour long sessions with Paul at the clinic in Wombourne or, if you prefer, via Zoom video sessions.
