Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

About this session

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress. CBT is widely used to treat a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and stress, making it a powerful tool for improving overall well-being.

What to Expect

During CBT sessions, you'll work collaboratively with your therapist to explore the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and actions. The therapist will help you identify unhelpful thought patterns and teach you practical strategies to replace them with more constructive ways of thinking and behaving. The process often includes setting goals, completing assignments, and practising techniques between sessions to build lasting change.

Sessions are structured, goal-oriented, and focused on achieving positive outcomes through a combination of discussion, reflection, and practical exercises.

Outcomes

CBT empowers individuals to manage their mental health by developing healthier thinking patterns and coping strategies. By the end of the therapy, you'll have a toolkit of strategies to address and manage difficult emotions, reduce anxiety or depression, and break free from negative thought cycles. Clients often report feeling more in control of their thoughts and behaviours, leading to improved emotional resilience and a more balanced, fulfilling life.
