Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Life is full of challenges, and sometimes our emotions can become difficult to manage. For those feeling overwhelmed by worry, anxiety, or depression, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can be a powerful therapeutic approach.

CBT is a widely used, evidence-based approach that helps individuals manage emotional and psychological challenges by changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. At Oak Grove Psychology, our experienced psychologists serving Reading and the wider UK use CBT to empower individuals with practical tools to address their current difficulties, through personalised online therapy.

Which Issues Can CBT Help?

CBT is a structured and goal-oriented form of therapy that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

  • Anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias

  • Depression and low mood
