Real Trustpilot reviews from people who found the right therapist through Fettle.

Genuinely transformed how I operate day-to-day. Before starting with Fettle, I was very close to hitting burnout - struggling with procrastination, time management, and a frustrating lack of structure. Over the last three months, working with my therapist, Louise O'Sullivan, gave me the exact circuit breaker I needed.

Finn GlennTrustpilot · Aug 2026

I really enjoy my weekly sessions with Dylan Johnston. I have tried therapy before but this time I feel I'm getting a lot more out of it. I feel so understood and it makes life less overwhelming. It's been so great to be able to do it on my laptop at home instead of the added stress of travel.

Gabby MurphyTrustpilot · Mar 2026

I am so happy I decided to try fettle. Emma Keane was my therapist and I felt immediately at ease with her, she helped me a tremendous amount. Her empathy helped me navigate difficult relationships and gain a much clearer understanding of my anxiety.

How it works

From finding the right therapist to easy scheduling, Fettle therapy makes it easier to start feeling better by giving you access to personalised support from accredited CBT professionals on a flexible online platform.

Step 1

What is CBT therapy?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours. It's one of the most researched and effective forms of psychotherapy, focusing on practical strategies you can use in everyday life. CBT works by helping you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions—giving you tools to break unhelpful cycles.

Step 2

What can you expect?

In your CBT sessions, you'll work collaboratively with your therapist to set clear goals and develop practical skills. Sessions typically run 50 minutes and include learning techniques like thought challenging, behavioural experiments, and relaxation exercises. Between sessions, you'll practise these skills through homework assignments, reinforcing new patterns of thinking and behaviour. Most people see significant improvement within 5-20 sessions.

The CBT Journey

Discover how CBT helps you understand and change negative patterns

You
I keep having anxious thoughts before meetings. My mind races and I can't focus.
Therapist
Let's identify what thoughts are triggering that anxiety and work through them together?

Identify Your Problems

The first step in CBT is identifying the specific thoughts, feelings, and behaviours causing you distress. Your therapist helps you recognise patterns you might not have noticed before.

Get Started
Therapist
What evidence supports this thought? What evidence contradicts it?
You
Actually, when I think about it, my presentations usually go well...

Challenge Negative Thoughts

Once you've identified unhelpful thoughts, you'll learn to question their validity. Are they based on facts or assumptions? Your therapist guides you through evidence-based techniques.

Get Started
Therapist
Try this breathing technique when you notice anxiety building?
You
I'll add it to my toolkit alongside the thought records.

Learn Techniques

CBT gives you a toolkit of practical strategies: thought records, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and problem-solving methods. These become lifelong skills.

Get Started
Therapist
I actually spoke up in the meeting today instead of staying quiet!?
You
Connection. Being there for people. Creating things that matter.

Change Your Behaviours

Thoughts and behaviours are connected. As you change how you think, you'll also work on changing unhelpful behaviours through gradual exposure and behavioural experiments.

Get Started
Therapist
How did the thought record exercise go this week?
You
I caught myself catastrophising and challenged it before it spiralled!

Build Lasting Skills

Between sessions, you'll practise what you've learned. This reinforces new patterns and helps you become your own therapist, building confidence in managing difficult situations.

Get Started
You
I feel so much more confident handling stress now. Thank you!
Therapist
You did the hard work. These skills will serve you for life.

Maintain Your Progress

CBT's effects last long after therapy ends. You'll have strategies for recognising early warning signs, preventing relapse, and continuing to grow.

Get Started

What is CBT Used For?

CBT is effective for treating a wide range of mental health conditions

CBT is highly effective for treating panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety, and generalised anxiety disorder. It helps you understand the connection between anxious thoughts and physical symptoms.
CBT helps identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to depression. You'll learn to challenge hopeless thinking and re-engage with activities that bring meaning.
CBT with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard treatment for OCD. It involves gradually facing fears while resisting compulsive behaviours.
CBT helps you understand thought patterns that contribute to stress, recognise triggers, and develop healthy coping strategies for managing pressure.
Trauma-focused CBT helps process traumatic memories in a safe, structured way. It challenges unhelpful beliefs about the traumatic event and reduces panic responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about CBT therapy

CBT works to reprogram how the mind responds to thoughts. CBT teaches you to identify, challenge, and replace negative thought patterns with more balanced and helpful ways of thinking.

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. While some approaches like ACT focus on acceptance, CBT actively works to restructure negative thinking into more balanced perspectives, giving you practical tools to manage difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches clients how to identify the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Through structured exercises and homework, you learn to challenge negative thoughts and develop healthier responses.

With CBT therapy, there is no set time to see results. However, you can expect to have short-term results gained in as fast as one session to long-term results gained after numerous sessions. In essence, results with CBT therapy are gradual and guarantee a steady improvement with each session.

CBT uses several key techniques including thought records, cognitive restructuring, behavioural experiments, exposure therapy, relaxation techniques, and problem-solving skills training.

Here at Fettle, we understand that finding a good and trusted therapist can be a task. However, we are devoted to offering quality counselling always with your needs in mind. When choosing the best therapist to suit your needs, it's essential to know the areas to consider and how to get started.

How does Cognitive Behavioural Therapy work?

CBT has been around for many years. It's the basis of other therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).

If you are thinking negatively about yourself or a situation and that is causing you problems, CBT might be able to help .

In CBT, you work with a therapist to recognise the patterns of thinking (cognition) and behaviour that cause your problems. This collaborative approach helps you gain insight into how your mind works and why certain patterns have developed.

The CBT Process: Understanding Your Problems

First, you will work with your therapist to understand what are the most troubling problems for you.

You will identify which of these thoughts, emotions and beliefs are negative or inaccurate. And then, working with your therapist, you find ways to challenge them.

Then, you work out what your thoughts, emotions and beliefs are about these situations. This exploration helps build a clear picture of how you experience difficulties in your daily life.

This structured approach ensures that therapy is targeted and focused on what matters most to you.

What can CBT help with?

CBT is one of the most researched and effective forms of psychotherapy, with proven benefits for a wide range of conditions.

CBT therapists effectively treat patients with:

  • Depression
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Eating disorder
  • Anxiety disorder
  • Psychosis
  • Substance-use disorders
  • Chronic stress
  • Chronic pain

Benefits & Effectiveness of CBT Therapy

Benefits of CBT Therapy: CBT is great at improving mental health by helping you identify and change negative thought patterns. You learn practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop healthier responses.

CBT is often recommended as a first-line treatment and can reduce or eliminate the need for medication in many cases.

Effectiveness: Studies show CBT is 75% effective for treating anxiety and depression, with lasting results that continue after treatment ends.

Things to Consider: When selecting a CBT therapist, it's essential to ensure they are accredited and experienced in cognitive behavioural approaches. It is also vital to ensure that you feel confident and comfortable with your selected therapist.
