Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It aims to identify and challenge negative patterns of thinking and behavior to promote healthier coping strategies and emotional well-being.

How does Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Work?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy works by helping individuals recognize and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress. Therapists work collaboratively with clients to set specific goals and develop practical skills to address their challenges. Techniques such as cognitive restructuring, behavioural experiments, and exposure therapy are used to promote lasting change and improve overall functioning.

It equips individuals with practical tools to challenge negative thinking, regulate emotions, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. By empowering clients to take an active role in their treatment and providing them with practical skills they can apply in their daily lives, CBT facilitates long-lasting improvements in mental health and well-being.
