How Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Can Help You Break Free from Anxiety – Minds Matter Therapy

Introduction

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by anxious thoughts or stuck in unhelpful patterns? At Minds Matter Therapy, I specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and integrative counselling to help you build clarity, calm, and confidence—whether you’re based in Glenboig, North Lanarkshire, or looking for online therapy across the UK.

What Is CBT and How Does It Work?

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is a proven, structured approach that helps you understand the connection between:

  • Thoughts
  • Emotions
  • Behaviours
  • Physical sensations

By learning to recognise and challenge unhelpful thinking, you can change how you feel and behave—leading to long-term improvements in your mental well-being.

CBT is collaborative, practical, and results-focused. It empowers you with the tools to make real, sustainable change.

CBT Can Help With:

  • Generalised Anxiety & Panic Attacks
  • Depression & Low Mood
  • OCD & Intrusive Thoughts
  • Stress & Burnout
  • Social Anxiety
  • Low Self-Esteem
  • Life Transitions (e.g. grief, divorce, job loss)
  • Relationship Difficulties

What Happens in a CBT Session at Minds Matter Therapy?

  1. Initial Consultation: We discuss what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’d like to change.
  2. Goal Setting: Together, we define clear therapy goals and outcomes.
  3. Understanding Patterns: We explore your current thought and behaviour patterns and how they contribute to distress.
  4. New Strategies: You learn tools and techniques to manage anxiety, shift mindset, and improve coping.
  5. Between-Session Practice: You’ll try practical strategies in real life and reflect on your progress in sessions.

My integrative style combines CBT with person-centred and other evidence-based approaches, offering you a personalised experience.


Is CBT Right for You?

CBT may be a good fit if:

✅ You want practical solutions to recurring emotional struggles
✅ You like structure and goal-based therapy
✅ You’re open to self-reflection and trying new behaviours
