CBT Newcastle - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Newcastle
CBT (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy) Newcastle
When things go wrong in life it’s easy to blame and criticise yourself, but if you get stuck in a repetitive spiral of negative thinking you can end up feeling hopeless, depressed, anxious and physically exhausted.
This is where Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling can help. Unlike other forms of counselling or therapy, CBT focuses specifically on the problems and difficulties that you are experiencing now, whether they come from recent events, worries about the future, or experiences from the past.
Your CBT therapist will help you make sense of overwhelming problems by breaking them down into smaller parts. This makes it easier to see how they are connected and how they affect you physically, emotionally and how you respond to them.
How Does CBT Work?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) comes from the theory that it is not the situation or specific events themselves that cause problems, but the meanings and thoughts you attach to them. This can start to cause you problems if you think or respond to certain situations in a certain way, fall into vicious cycles of thinking, or think negatively when the situation doesn’t require it.
Our CBT in Newcastle focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and developing alternative ways of thinking that help you manage problems more effectively, all of which can make a significant difference to how you feel.
The number of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy sessions you require will depend on the complexity of your presenting issues and your goals. Your therapist will discuss your goals with you at the initial face to face or online consultation and you can discuss how many sessions may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions about CBT
How many CBT sessions will I need?
This depends on the nature and complexity of your difficulties. Some people benefit from a shorter course of six to eight sessions, while others find that longer-term work is more appropriate. Your CBT therapist will discuss your goals with you at the outset and review progress regularly throughout.
What is the difference between CBT and counselling?
CBT is a structured, problem-focused therapy that works by identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Counselling tends to be less structured and focuses more on providing a supportive space to talk through difficulties. Both are effective, and the right approach depends on your individual needs. Our team can advise you on which would be most suitable when you get in touch.
Do you offer online CBT as well as face-to-face sessions?
Yes; in addition to in-person CBT at our Newcastle clinics, we offer online cognitive behavioural therapy via Zoom, Skype, and WhatsApp Video. This makes our CBT services accessible to clients across the North East and beyond.
How much does CBT cost in Newcastle?
CBT sessions at Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling are priced at £100 per session. Some of our therapists also work with clients through private health insurance, including Aviva, CIGNA, Healix, and WPA. Take a look at our Appointments & Fees page for more information.
