Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and physical responses. CBT is based on the understanding that the way we think about situations can influence how we feel and respond to them.
At times, people can become caught in unhelpful patterns of thinking or behaviour that contribute to emotional distress and make it difficult to achieve their goals. CBT helps people identify these patterns, evaluate whether they are helpful or accurate, and develop more balanced ways of thinking and responding.
CBT aims to build practical skills that support emotional wellbeing and resilience. It can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionism, emotional regulation difficulties, and adjustment to life changes. CBT is collaborative, goal-oriented, and tailored to each person's individual needs and circumstances.
