Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Depression

Break free from unhelpful thoughts and habits, and start building lasting change.

Overview

What is Depression?

Depression is more than just feeling sad or low for a few days. It’s a persistent change in mood that can affect your thoughts, emotions, energy levels, and daily life. It often brings feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, or disconnection, and can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming.

How CBT Treats Depression

CBT for depression helps you understand the link between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and how they may be keeping you stuck in a low mood. Together, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns and habits and replace them with more balanced perspectives and actions. The goal is to help you feel more in control, re-engage with life, and improve your mood in a lasting way.

Understanding Depression

CBT helps you spot unhelpful thinking styles that fuel low mood. We work together to challenge these patterns and create more balanced ways of seeing situations.

Practical Tools for Change

Through guided exercises and real-world practice, you’ll learn coping techniques that reduce low mood, improve motivation, and help you feel more in control.

Lasting Recovery

CBT focuses on creating sustainable habits and perspectives so you can maintain progress, prevent relapse, and feel more resilient in the face of life’s challenges.

Breaking the Stigma

Around one in six adults in Great Britain, approximately 16% will experience moderate to severe depressive symptoms at any given time.

Personalised Therapy

There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your therapy journey is shaped around your unique situation and needs.

Hope and Growth

Step by step, CBT supports you to regain confidence, restore balance, and create meaningful change.

Exceptional level of care and counsel from Pritesh Joshi who has supported me on a year long journey. Unwavering, sincere and professional CBT provided always at mutually agreeable dates and times, never has he let me down or not followed up with any promised support material. I would thoroughly recommend Pritesh for his experience, compassion and results.

Pritesh Joshi was excellent. At 54 I am the happiest and most balanced person that I have ever been. I’m very happy for you to use my feedback, and would be very proud to think that it might help someone get better.

- M.C.

I worked with Pritesh over several months to help overcome my issues with anxiety and perfectionism which had put my work life to a standstill. Pritesh was insightful and patient and helped me so many techniques to get me back to being productive. I am incredibly grateful for his time.

- Francesca H. CBT Therapist

Pritesh strikes a valuable balance between validating and gently challenging me to grow. I leave supervision feeling clearer, more resourced and better equipped for the challenges of life as a therapist.

- Lisa F.

I had a wonderful experience with my therapist called Pritesh. He was so kind and listened to me from the minute that I explained why I needed help. I’ve gone through a lot in the last six months, and I truly don’t believe I would’ve been able to do it without his support.

- J.T.

Pritesh created a supportive environment where I could openly address challenges I had previously faced alone. His structured approach, incorporating diverse techniques, enabled me to experience significant progress within just a few weeks.

- G.D. CBT Therapist

Working with Pritesh as my supervisor has been such a positive experience. Pritesh always makes me feel at ease and heard. His depth of knowledge in CBT, combined with his compassionate supervision style, has helped grow my clinical skills.

Why Therapy is an Investment

Therapy isn’t just about the time spent in the session, it’s an investment in your mental health, emotional resilience, and long-term wellbeing. Each session reflects years of specialist training and clinical experience, as well as the time spent outside of sessions designing a personalised treatment plan for your needs. Many people don’t hesitate when spending money on holidays, gym memberships, or dining out, all of which provide mostly only short-term wellbeing. Therapy offers something deeper: a safe, consistent space to understand yourself, work through what’s holding you back, and build lasting change. This investment in yourself is a valuable commitment to living the balanced, fulfilled life, that you wish you live for many years ahead.
