Christchurch CBT

Welcome to Christchurch CBT, a trusted institution located at 29 Paparoa Street in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our establishment is dedicated to providing high-quality cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) services to individuals seeking help with depression, anxiety, and other psychological difficulties.

As a trained Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, registered Occupational Therapist, and member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors, I bring years of clinical experience to assist you on your journey towards overcoming these challenges. It is important to note that one in every five people is affected by anxiety and depression at some point in their lives, and our goal is to offer effective solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Anxiety can manifest in various forms, such as irrational fears, intense shyness, panic attacks, nagging worries, obsessions, and post-traumatic anxiety. On the other hand, depression and low mood may present as persistent gloominess, sadness, loneliness, irritability, guilt, difficulty making decisions, lack of concentration, and withdrawal from enjoyable activities. These conditions can significantly impact your self-esteem and relationships.

CBT is widely recognized as the most well-researched psychological therapy and has proven to be highly effective in helping individuals overcome a wide range of difficulties. At Christchurch CBT, we are committed to providing collaborative, evidence-based, and individualized CBT treatment to facilitate your recovery and improve your overall well-being. Our safe, friendly, confidential, and non-judgmental space will allow you to explore and address the issues that are troubling you, helping you regain control of your life.

If you are struggling with an eating disorder, our assessment process will determine if CBT is the appropriate approach for you. We are equipped to treat Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia Nervosa, and Anorexia Nervosa using either CBT-T (Ten-session treatment) or CBT-E (20-40 session treatment) depending on your specific concerns. In some cases, regular medical reviews with your GP may be necessary in conjunction with our therapy.
