Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based talking therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns to improve emotional well-being and cope better with everyday challenges.
CBT works by breaking down problems into manageable parts and examining how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Through guided exercises, clients learn to challenge negative thoughts, reframe beliefs and develop practical coping strategies to handle difficult situations more effectively.
CBT is suitable for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, phobias and other mental health conditions. It is effective for people of all ages and can be adapted for specific issues, such as insomnia, obsessive-compulsive disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder.
In a session, clients work collaboratively with a therapist to explore specific concerns. They may keep thought records, practise new skills or set goals. Sessions often include homework tasks to apply strategies between meetings, supporting long-term change and personal growth.
