Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on the relationship   between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It is based on the idea that our thoughts and beliefs influence our emotions and the things we do. CBT aims to help you recognise and modify patterns of thinking and behaviour that just aren't working for you anymore. CBT will empower you to manage your emotions more effectively.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) equips individuals with practical tools to tackle challenges by addressing distorted thinking patterns and maladaptive behaviours.
 
Through structured sessions, clients learn to identify negative thought patterns, challenge irrational beliefs, or lean to take the power out of them and develop healthier cognitive frameworks. By restructuring thinking processes or helping you to step back from your thoughts, CBT empowers individuals to manage emotions effectively and modify unhelpful behaviours.
 
It emphasizes mindfulness, goal-setting, problem-solving, and exposure techniques to confront fears and anxieties gradually. CBT's collaborative approach fosters self-awareness and self-efficacy, enabling individuals to take proactive steps towards change. 

CBT is typically short-term (12-20 sessions), and focuses on the present moment rather than focusing on the past.
 
Sessions are structured and help you to both understand yourself more and to develop more effective ways of responding to your challenges.  CBT involves homework where you practise these new techniques during the week.
