CBT Surrey

Welcome to CBT Surrey, the website of cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist Simon Simpson.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is considered to be one of the most powerful and effective ways of gaining long term control over unhealthy emotions and self-defeating behaviours. It is a structured, short-term form of psychotherapy that is particularly useful for helping people deal with emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders and low self-esteem.

CBT is probably the most widely researched form of therapy. Many hundreds of studies have shown CBT to be as effective as anti-depressant medication in alleviating some forms of depression and more effective than medication for preventing recurrence of depression. Evidence such as this means that CBT is recommended within the NHS as the principal form of talking therapy for Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress, Eating Disorders, Panic, Insomnia, and many other conditions.

In CBT the emphasis is on helping clients to build new skills, and for you to effectively become your own therapist. The idea behind this is summed up in the well-known saying;

"If you give a hungry person a fish, you feed them for a day - teach that person to fish and you feed them for life".

Whether you have been referred by your GP, recommended by a friend, or are responding to an advert you have seen, please explore this website to learn more about CBT and how this form of treatment could help you to achieve your goals.
