Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychological treatment that helps you to see a link between your thoughts, mood and behaviour. Since it can teach skills for identifying and altering maladaptive thought processes, CBT holds the promise of generalizing beneficial changes in mood, self-esteem and daily functioning over time.

What Is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

A type of talking treatment that you may have with a therapist can help you work out how you can change what you think and do. Long-term psychotherapy is less directive and may invite more thinking about the past, but if it’s a matter of thoughts or behaviors that are causing problems for you now, that may be the last thing you’d want to focus on in therapy. CBT, unlike these forms of intervention is “problem focused and acting in the here and now”, with tools that give value and work between sessions.

How CBT Works

CBT works by helping you:

  • Identify automatic negative thoughts
  • Understand the affect of thoughts on feelings and behaviour
  • Create other balanced ways of thought
  • Prepare to weather the day-to-day storms.

The end product is one of better emotional regulation and coping with anxiety, stress, depression and beyond.
