How How do you choose between Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychotherapy, Counselling, Stress Management or Massage therapy in Manchester? Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (also often called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT) is very helpful for specific problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a short-term, problem focused therapy; the average number of sessions for CBT treatment is around 15, but of course, everyone is different. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is structured and collaborative and based on clinical research, and each CBT treatment is individually geared to each client. The sessions are in Chorlton, South Manchester. The Counselling / Psychotherapy we offer at Manchester Therapies works deeply with the client’s present experiences in the here and now. This approach to Psychotherapy and Counselling is both supportive and challenging and can help to overcome problems and lead to lasting change. The Psychotherapy and Counselling we offer tends to be more long term than a CBT treatment; to effect deep change takes time. An initial assessment for psychotherapy or counseling with Manchester Therapies is offered to help you decide if this type of psychotherapy/counseling is for you.

Stress Management at Manchester Therapies is a further type of Therapy approach; it can be applied to one specific situation, or teach the client how to generally take a more relaxed view of life. Aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychotherapy and counselling may also be used in this approach. The Massage Therapy can be either relaxing or revitalising or both. Massage Therapy may also be integrated with Stress Management or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). If you are confused about whether you would be best to choose counselling, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), stress management or massage therapy, do call or e-mail Manchester Therapies and we will be happy to discuss the best therapy option for you.
