Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Edinburgh

Talking therapies

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effective for tackling the psychological challenges associated with eating disorders and obesity. It focuses on changing the way you think and behave, helping to break the cycle of negative thoughts and actions that can impact eating habits and body image.

To find a CBT therapist via the NHS, you can refer yourself or speak to your GP, who can refer you to talking therapies in Edinburgh.

Why it’s important

By addressing mental health alongside physical health, you have a much better chance of succeeding in your weight loss journey, improving your overall wellbeing and quality of life. If you find yourself in need of urgent mental health support, contact your local mental health helpline provided by the NHS. These resources can provide immediate care and support in times of need, ensuring that no one has to face their challenges alone.

Keeping active

Exercise doesn’t just burn calories. By triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood enhancers, exercise has been shown to help combat depression and anxiety.

There’s plenty of ways to stay active in Edinburgh, from local gyms and fitness classes to parks and recreational facilities.

Support in Edinburgh

In Edinburgh, NHS Lothian provides comprehensive mental health support. They can help with eating disorders and weight-related mental health issues.

Discuss your mental health with your GP in Edinburgh who can refer you to a specialist. You may also be able to refer yourself directly without a referral, but you will need to be registered with a GP to get talking therapies on the NHS. You can find a GP in Edinburgh on the NHS website.
