how we help
How can psychological therapy help?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is organised over an agreed number of sessions.
The number of sessions required will differ depending on the nature and severity of a client's presenting problem. Typically, sessions are weekly/fortnightly, last up to an hour and take place over a period of between 4 to 12 sessions (but this can be significantly shorter or longer).
What sort of problems can CBT help with?
Research into CBT has been carried out extensively over the last 40 years. This has shown it to be an effective form of psychotherapy, particularly for the following:
PTSD & Trauma
Traumatic experiences leave deep marks. Our EMDR and trauma-focused CBT approaches are clinically proven to help you process and move forward.
Depression
When life loses its colour, CBT helps you challenge the thought patterns that keep you stuck and rebuild a sense of meaning and motivation.
OCD
Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours are exhausting. Our evidence-based ERP and CBT approach can help you reclaim your freedom.
Phobias
Whether it's heights, social situations, or something else entirely, targeted CBT can help you face your fears and live without limits.
Stress & Burnout
Work pressure, life transitions, and chronic stress take a toll. We help you build resilience and recalibrate before things reach breaking point.
Child and adolescent problems
Growing up can bring emotional, behavioural, and social challenges. CBT can help children and young people develop healthy coping skills, build confidence, and improve their wellbeing.
Chronic Pain
Living with persistent pain can affect every aspect of daily life. CBT can help you develop practical strategies to manage pain, reduce distress, and improve your quality of life.
Drug or Alcohol problems
Breaking free from substance misuse can be challenging. CBT provides practical tools to manage cravings, overcome triggers, and support long-term recovery.

emdr
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
EMDR is an acronym for ‘Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing’. EMDR is a powerful psychological treatment method that was developed by an American clinical psychologist, Dr Francine Shapiro, in the 1980s. EMDR helps the individual look at memories of their trauma (including all negative thoughts, feelings and sensations experienced at the time of the event).
EMDR aims to change how we feel about these memories and helps you to have more positive emotions, behaviour and thoughts, as they are stored into long term storage.
emdr
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing integrates elements of many effective psychotherapies in structured protocols that are designed to maximise treatment effects.
These include psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, interpersonal, experiential, and body-centred therapies.
EMDR is recommended in several treatment guidelines for PTSD around the world including the UK. All our CBT Cardiff psychological therapists have attended EMDR training from accredited EMDR trainers. Several EMDR therapists are EMDR UK and Ireland accredited practitioners.

“I was a front seat passenger when another car crashed into my side of our car causing it to be a right off. I was frightened and shocked at the bump, noise and suddenness of the incident…
“Initially I was sent to see my therapist by my employer, so before I got there, I felt angry and suspicious. Even though I knew things weren’t right for me and I needed some kind of help, I couldn’t seem to join the dots to see the complete picture.
