Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Structured, practical support for changing unhelpful patterns

People often come to CBT because they feel stuck in patterns they can recognise but can’t shift. You might notice the same worries looping, the same self-critical thoughts appearing, or behaviours that make sense in the moment but keep problems going over time.

Many people ask whether CBT is “practical”, whether it involves homework, or whether it will feel too structured. Others wonder if it’s the right approach for anxiety, low mood, OCD, or stress or how it differs from other types of therapy.

At Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, we offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in Henley-on-Thames as one of several therapeutic approaches. CBT focuses on understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, and on making changes that feel realistic and manageable.

Understand patterns

Noticing how thoughts, behaviours, and reactions link together.

Reduce distress

Learning ways to respond differently to anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits.

Build practical skills

Developing tools you can use between sessions and over time.

What You Can Expect

CBT is a collaborative and structured form of therapy. Sessions usually involve looking at current difficulties, identifying patterns, and working on practical ways to change how you respond to them. This might include learning strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking, testing out new behaviours, or gradually facing situations you’ve been avoiding.

Some people find CBT appealing because it is focused and goal-oriented. Others appreciate having clear tools to practise between sessions. Your therapist will work with you at a pace that feels manageable and will check regularly that the approach feels helpful for you.

We offer:

  • A structured, collaborative approach
  • Clear focus on current difficulties
  • Practical tools and strategies
  • May include tasks or practice between sessions
  • In-person or online sessions available
