Behavioural
and Cognitive Psychotherapy
with Judith Emery
RMN; RGN; Ad.Dip.Behavioural Psychotherapy; B.Med Sci (Hons); MSc
| About Judith Emery: "As
a clinician I have enjoyed my extensive experience in the field of mental
health and this year (2007) I retired from The Retreat Hospital in York.
Ten years ago I developed a successful cognitive behavioural outpatient
service for The Retreat and more recently I was part of the outpatient
psychotherapy service at the Tuke Centre there. This autumn I have begun
to establish a small private CBT service from the York Clinic.
I have been committed to my work and over the years of massive change
this is something that has not changed.
As a fully accredited member of the BABCP (British Association of
Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies) and of the UKCP (United Kingdom
Council for Psychotherapy) the ethical and professional considerations
represented by these leading psychotherapy organisations underpin my
practice.
In assisting clients I encourage a straightforward approach toward a
vital partnership and call on my broad experience in helping with the
emotional problems that are presented in session and with the intense
personal distress that is often a feature. I also encourage individuals to
develop a realistic and compassionate view of their own situation."

Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT/P)
CBT is helpful for many
emotional problems and for some problems research does indicate that CBT is the
treatment of choice. It can be relatively short term therapy (6-12 sessions) and
requires active engagement over the period. Therapy aims to identify and
accurately understand the problem-experience and to use techniques that target
unhelpful thoughts, assumptions and behaviours and allow a significant change in
everyday emotional functioning. How this is to be achieved is very carefully
discussed and planned each session – change of this type cannot be imposed.
| Problems where CBT is helpful
may sometimes be complex and include: |
| Depression |
General and Social Anxiety |
Panic and Phobic Disorders |
| OCD |
PTSD |
Chronic Fatigue |
| Mood variations |
Sleep Disorders |
Consequences of Abuse |
| Eating Disorders |
Anger |
Self-defeating Behaviour |
| and many others. |
