Welcome to Phoenix Therapy Ayrshire

Hi, my name is Tracey and i have a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Group-work.

I started Phoenix Therapy nearly 3 years ago, and chose the name due to the Phoenix being a symbol of renewal, overcoming adversity and rising from the ashes and of representing hope and a fresh start after destruction or difficulty.

Having overcome my own adversities over the years, and subsequently recognising how we are all capable, with the right support and appropriate tools, of improving our wellbeing to some degree, I am committed to providing professional, confidential support to help you in your journey of personal growth and development.

I offer a range of services, including counselling, psychotherapy, and life coaching, all of which are tailored to your individual needs, goals and circumstances. My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgemental and understanding environment in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, enabling you to gain a clear understanding of both yourself and the situation you find yourself in.

What is CBT? 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, (CBT), is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.

(NHS, 2022)

 

This CBT model, which highlights the impact of a situation by examining

thoughts, emotions, behaviour and physical sensations is known as the 5 areas model.

CBT is based on several core principles, including:

 

  1. Psychological problems are based, in part, on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking.
  2. Psychological problems are also based, in part, on learned patterns of unhelpful behaviour.
  3. People suffering from psychological problems can learn better ways of coping with them, thereby relieving their symptoms and becoming more effective in their lives.
