To understand if our anxiety is an issue to look at with an anxiety therapist, it’s enough to ask ourselves how and to what extent our life has changed as a result of anxiety.
If you have stopped going to social events, meeting family and friends, or if you have lost a relationship, a job, or have started avoiding certain situations or activities for fear of having an anxiety or panic attack, you should ask for professional help. As mentioned above, although it only makes sense to want to avoid unpleasant feelings (and the circumstances we anticipate would trigger them), consistent and continued avoidance actually increases our anxiety in the long term.
Cognitive Analytical Therapy (CAT)
The leeds anxiety clinic is a private treatment service operating from a discreet location on queen street in leeds city centre. We use a treatment model known as integrative psychotherapy.
This therapy process is a combination that includes the best bits of counselling and cognitive behaviour therapy techniques. See here for a more detailed description of how our anxiety therapy works.
The starting point to search for a private therapist who is trained in cbt in your local area is the british association for behavioural and cognitive psychotherapies (babcp). Social anxiety alliance uk recommend using therapists accredited with the babcp, which is the lead organisation in the uk for cbt therapists, and should not be confused with the counselling body, the bacp (or their members with the qualification “mbacp”). The babcp maintain standards for practitioners of behavioural and cognitive psychotherapy, and have minimum criteria members must meet to become accredited. Babcp accreditation is the minimum benchmark we recommend when seeking private cbt therapists.
There are many types of psychotherapies used to treat anxiety. Unlike counseling, psychotherapy is more long-term and targets a broader range of issues such as patterns of behavior. The patient's particular anxiety diagnosis and personal preference guides what therapies would be best suited to treat them. The ultimate goal with any type of psychotherapy, is to help the patient regulate their emotions, manage stress, understand patterns in behavior that affect their interpersonal relationships. Evidenced-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt), prolonged exposure therapy (pe), and dialectical behavioral therapy (dbt) are some of the most effective at treating anxiety.
