Moray Primary Care Psychological Therapy Service

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or Depression?

If so, let’s discover how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help you. 

Our self-referral service is here to assist adults over 18 years old using CBT. CBT helps you transform both your thoughts (Cognitive) and actions (Behaviour) to improve your overall well-being.  Instead of dwelling on past issues, CBT focuses on tackling present challenges and finding solutions to uplift your mood.

What can CBT help with?

  • Feeling depressed or anxious (mild-moderate)
  • Worries in social situations
  • Fear of open spaces or crowded places
  • Sudden panic attacks
  • Obsessive-compulsive traits
  • Health-related anxieties
  • Generalised worry and tension
  • Coping with trauma
  • Struggling with self-esteem
  • Sleep issues

Is there anything CBT doesn't cover?

While CBT is effective for many challenges, there are certain areas it can’t address directly.  These include:

  • Autism assessments
  • Family or social problems, debt-related issues
  • Psychosexual difficulties
  • ADHD and ASD (unless it’s treating a co-existing mental health problem and the condition is mild-moderate)
  • Drug and alcohol misuse
  • Addictions (unless it’s treating a co-existing mental health problem and the condition is mild-moderate)
  • Eating disorders
  • Significant risk of self-harm or harm to others
  • Psychoses
  • Personality disorders
  • Relationship issues as the primary concern
