Counselling and CBT FAQs

How Do I Know if I Have a Mental Health Problem?

You’ll probably know if you “haven’t been yourself” for a while. But while you might be able to discuss your symptoms, you probably need help with identifying the condition. We’ve put together a list of the most common mental health problems we treat at iGP

This list of mental health conditions is just an introduction to the most common issues treated with counselling or CBT. If you don’t think your condition is listed, speak with a BACBP-qualified counsellor at iGP about your symptoms.

Should I Choose Counselling or CBT?

Both of these talking therapies are used to treat mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. However, counselling focuses on encouragement and empathy through active listening. CBT therapist works with their patient to uncover the behavioural patterns that are linked to mental health symptoms. Once the links have been established, the CBT therapist works on practical changes that can break the link between unwanted behaviours and symptoms.

If the root cause of your mental health symptoms involve an event or a set of circumstances, you’ll probably be advised to take the counselling route. Such events include bereavement, the loss of a job or the breakdown of a marriage.

If the root cause of your problems is related to inherent behaviours, however, CBT is probably the best option. To find out which route is best for you, contact the counselling experts at iGP today. One of our counsellors will assess your symptoms and arrange a treatment programme tailored to your particular needs.
