CBT is short term, and therefore only usually lasts up to 20 sessions. However, this will be dependent on the level of difficulties. After assessment, the clinician will discuss the expected duration of therapy. This will be reviewed through out therapy to ensure that expected progress is being made. CBT usually lasts between 12 – 20 sessions. Please look at the section on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for more information on how it works.

CBT is focused on the ‘here and now’. Although our problems may have developed in our childhood, it won’t always be necessary to talk about our past. The focus will be primarily on understanding how your problems are maintained in the present. However, there may be some questions about your past if it helps us understand the problem. But these will not be the main focus on therapy, unlike with other models of psychotherapy.

CBT understands that our problems result from the way we see our life. Hence the main target for therapy are our thoughts, beliefs and behaviours. The idea is that if we can start to think and act differently, our emotions will change too. Other models such as Psychodynamic psychotherapy may focus more on how our childhood has shaped our emotions and behaviours.
