Cranmore Counselling offers a safe, non-judgemental environment where you can express your current concerns and difficulties, which are causing distress. You will be able to discuss issues you may feel uncomfortable discussing with friends or family. Your therapist will be able to listen objectively and use techniques and resources which can help you to make the changes necessary in order to improve your mood and general well being.
Your therapist is qualified and experienced and adheres to a strict code of ethics laid down by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Your therapist uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is a highly effective and practical form of therapy recommended for many mood disorders. NHS waiting lists for CBT can be very long, but you can be seen much quicker with Cranmore Counselling.

The word 'Cognitive' in CBT refers to the thoughts, beliefs and interpretations that people have about themselves or the situations they may find themselves in i.e. the meaning a person gives to events in their lives.
Each of these interpretations can lead to the person experiencing a different emotion affecting their mood i.e. anger, depression, concern which in turn causes physiological changes in our bodies such as muscle tension, heart pounding, sweating, headaches and many more.
Depending on a person's interpretation of an event, different negative emotions can therefore cause the person to behave in a different way i.e. avoid situations, criticise yourself/others, please others, enter into a conflict, comfort eat etc.

When you are depressed you can feel very sad, hopeless, and unimportant and often unable to live in a normal way.
You may have difficulty concentrating, making decisions and have a tendency to procrastinate.
Usually enjoyed activities no longer have the same appeal and you may struggle to feel a sense of achievement on a daily basis.
You may even have frequent thoughts of taking your life and worry about being a burden on others.
Depression can also be closely associated with anxiety.
CBT which is compassion focussed can help lift your mood and return to the life you want to live by addressing the thoughts and behaviours attributing to and maintaining your mood.
