How Midland Health can help
Midland Health Birmingham offers cognitive behavioural therapy services provided by Raj Bassi CBT - our resident cognitive therapist. With more than a decade of experience working with NHS mental health services in the West Midland and London, she can assist you with a variety of therapeutic treatments.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Adults
Negative thinking can have a destructive impact on your personal life, your career, as well as your mental and physical health. Regaining control of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour using cognitive behavioural therapy can significantly increase your life satisfaction and overall quality of life.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) For Children and Adolescents
Our affordable CBT therapy service can help children and adolescents adopt self-help techniques resulting in higher self-esteem, better performance at school and increased confidence in interactions at home and in social situations.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Implementing ACT approaches to help CBT patients identify the thoughts and memories that trigger negative behavioural patterns. The three most common elements are:
- Mindfulness helps your stay in the present moment and defuse the negative thoughts and feelings
- Acceptance allows you to see a thought for what it is - just a thought, acknowledge its existence and accept that to achieve peace
- Values are used to build an understanding of what really matters in life and focus on the positives
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
If you are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), blocked or unprocessed memories can manifest themselves as nightmares and flashbacks. Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) can help you manage these traumatic memories and reduce the negative experiences associated with them.
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), is a type of talking therapy that helps you effectively manage your emotions and physical health problems by actively adapting the way you think and behave. The aim of CBT is to help you identify and break negative behavioural patterns stemming from bad thoughts by encouraging positive thinking.
At Midland Health, we regularly help adults, teenagers and children who are suffering from anxiety, depression, eating disorders and other mental health problems.
How does CBT work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy is designed to help you understand what you think, how it makes you feel and what behaviour it triggers. It all begins with analysing a given situation.
For example, if a loved one has not called you when you expected them to, you may think that something terrible has happened to them or that they don’t care about you enough to call. This can cause you to feel anxiety, stress or extreme sadness. Those feelings can lead to certain behaviour such as crying, excessively calling the person, acting aggressively (slamming doors, throwing things).
Once a pattern of unhelpful thoughts and related harmful behaviours is identified, your therapist will work with you to implement CBT management techniques to prevent it from affecting you.

What to expect from CBT at Midland Health?
Trained in specialist CBT practices, your therapist will make you feel comfortable and secure, providing you with a safe space to discuss your feelings freely.
During cognitive behavioural therapy, you will be guided towards understanding the relationship between your thoughts and your feelings, and you will get to learn techniques that allow you to control your problem. Your CBT therapist will ask you to practice these techniques between sessions and you will have the opportunity to discuss your progress and any issues you may have faced.
As a therapeutic process, for cognitive behaviour therapy to be successful, it requires you to attend regular therapy sessions for a certain period of time. The length of therapy is different for everyone and it depends on your personal progress.
