What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based talking therapy that focuses on the connection between how you think, how you feel and how you behave.
CBT is based on the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and actions are closely linked. When unhelpful thinking patterns develop, they can influence how we feel and how we respond to situations. CBT helps you identify these patterns and develop practical strategies to create positive and lasting change.
CBT is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as an effective treatment for a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, stress and other common mental health concerns.
The approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Rather than only exploring the past, CBT helps you understand what is happening in the present and equips you with tools you can use in everyday life.
What Happens in a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Session?
Although CBT is always tailored to your individual needs, sessions follow a clear and supportive structure. This includes explaining how CBT works, agreeing a shared understanding of how we will work together, and using gentle assessment tools where appropriate to help guide and measure your progress.
If I attend for CBT Therapy will you contact my GP?
Your therapy sessions are confidential. We will not inform your GP or anyone else that you are attending therapy unless you would like us to and this has been agreed in advance.
Your personal information and therapy notes are stored securely and handled in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. This means your details are kept private and used only for the purpose of providing your therapy.
We would only share information without your consent if there were serious concerns about safety or a legal requirement to do so. If this situation ever arose, we would aim to discuss it with you wherever possible.
Do you offer online counselling across Scotland?
Yes. We offer secure online counselling and CBT sessions to clients across Scotland. Online therapy provides the same confidential, structured and supportive approach as in-person sessions, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Many clients find online counselling flexible and convenient, particularly if they have work, family commitments or live outside Glasgow. All online sessions are delivered via secure video platforms in line with UK GDPR and professional standards.
If you are unsure whether online therapy is right for you, we are happy to discuss this during your initial enquiry.
How much are counselling or CBT sessions?
Our session fees vary depending on the level of therapist you choose.
Sessions with one of our trainee therapists are £25 per session.
Sessions with one of our experienced or accredited therapists are £70 per session.
All sessions last approximately 50 minutes.
If you are unsure which option would be most suitable for you, we are happy to discuss this with you when you make your enquiry.
Why Train as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely researched and evidence-based psychological therapies available today. Recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), CBT is used across NHS services, private practice and organisational settings to support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, OCD, phobias and a range of other mental health difficulties.
Training as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist allows you to develop structured, practical skills that create meaningful and measurable change. CBT provides a clear framework for understanding how thoughts, emotions, behaviours and physical sensations interact. This structure helps therapists work collaboratively and confidently, offering clients tools they can use beyond the therapy room.
For many practitioners, CBT training strengthens both professional identity and clinical competence. It enhances assessment skills, formulation abilities and intervention planning, allowing therapists to work ethically, effectively and with clarity.
A Career That Is Meaningful and Sustainable
Working as a CBT therapist is often described as a vocation. It offers the privilege of holding a safe and trusting space while supporting individuals to understand their patterns and empower themselves to live the lives they want to lead.
CBT is goal-focused and collaborative, meaning therapists can see progress and outcomes develop over time. This can be deeply rewarding professionally, as clients gain confidence, resilience and practical coping strategies.
Many CBT therapists also value the flexibility the profession can offer. Opportunities exist within the NHS, third-sector organisations, employee wellbeing services and private practice. The ability to balance meaningful work with professional autonomy makes CBT an attractive long-term career pathway.
Increasing Demand Across Scotland
There is growing demand for qualified CBT practitioners across Scotland. As awareness of mental health increases, so too does the need for therapists trained in structured, evidence-based approaches.
Training in CBT can enhance employability, broaden your clinical skillset and support progression within counselling and psychotherapy careers.
Developing Professional Confidence
CBT training supports you to:
-
Develop structured case formulations
-
Apply evidence-based interventions
-
Work collaboratively with clients
-
Measure and review progress
-
Strengthen ethical and reflective practice
It combines compassion with clarity — enabling therapists to offer warmth alongside professional structure.
