Anxiety Therapy in Leeds

What is anxiety?

CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and behaviours are interconnected. When we get stuck in negative or anxious thinking, we often begin behaving in ways that unintentionally keep those feelings going.

In therapy, we explore:

​

  • What triggers difficult thoughts or emotions

  • How these affect your day-to-day life

  • What keeps the cycle going

  • New, more helpful ways of responding​

 

You’ll learn techniques such as grounding, thought exploration, behavioural activation, and worry management, all tailored to your specific needs.

What happens during a CBT session?

CBT is collaborative. That means we work as a team. Sessions often include:

​

  • Talking through what’s been difficult

  • Exploring patterns or triggers

  • Learning tools and strategies

  • Trying out small, manageable changes between sessions

  • Reviewing what worked and what didn’t (no judgement)
