Nicola's Background

Nicola is 32 yrs old. She is a Brand Manager for a large financial institution. She lives with her boyfriend and her flatmate who is her best friend from University.

Nicola started to notice about two months ago that her stress levels were getting higher and higher. She was starting to feel overwhelmed at work. She naturally had spoken to her manager but he had informed her that due to business targets he was unable to reduce any of her workload.

Nicola's CBT Therapy

After a complete assessment of Nicola’s difficulties it was mutually agreed that the main issue was her high levels of Anxiety and although her symptoms didn’t fit a full diagnosis of Panic disorder, we still believed using the CBT Therapy Model for Panic to guide treatment would be the most appropriate.

The CBT Therapy Model for Panic Attacks (see below) primarily focusses on the “catastrophic mis – interpretations” that are activated when someone experiences the unpleasant physical and mental symptoms that occur during an episode of extreme anxiety. Read more…

Conclusion

Nicola made a full recovery from her Panic Attacks.

Ensuring our clients get the results they require is a major focus of our work at the clinic.

CBT Therapy is a Talking Treatment that places a large emphasis on the measurability of results. That is why every session you will be asked to fill out a psychometric questionnaire so we can monitor and record your progress.

"My anxiety has returned to normal and I feel more confident. Thank you!"

Case Formulation

(CBT Therapy Road Maps)

After completing the psychological assessment we use the information to create what we call the Patient Case Formulation. This is essentially a “map” of how your current difficulties were created and what factors are maintaining your current difficulty today.

The case formulation is used to gain a mutual understanding of your difficulty and what areas need to be targeted in treatment. From the case formulation comes the Treatment Plan.

See the diagram on the right for more information…

Problem Specific Formulation

In CBT Therapy we also have Specific Formulations which are “blueprints” of the specific problem. For example we have a specific model to treat Panic Attacks. We have another specific model to treat Depression. Another one to treat OCD etc.

Goals for Treatment

CBT therapy is a goal-orientated therapy. At the beginning of therapy you will spend time with your therapist discussing what goals you would like to achieve as a result of your treatment. Your therapist will help formulate these goals using the SMART method. The goal needs to be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-centred. For example one of Nicola’s goals was – “To reduce my anxiety in work by 50% by the end of 10 sessions of CBT Therapy”.

Interventions Utilised

In CBT Therapy we have a large range of Psychological Interventions that can be used to aid our patient’s recovery. These can be from a Cognitive, Behavioural or Attentional perspective.
