Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps people manage emotional difficulties by changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. Rooted in the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are closely connected, CBT focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns to create healthier ways of thinking.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, or specific phobias, CBT can offer practical tools to regain a sense of control. Unlike some traditional therapies, CBT is often goal-oriented and time-limited, making it a focused way to tackle specific issues.
Sessions typically involve exploring current challenges rather than delving deeply into the past. You’ll learn how to spot automatic thoughts, understand their impact, and develop strategies to shift them. Techniques might include journaling, behavioural experiments, or thought-challenging exercises — all aimed at building resilience and self-awareness.
CBT isn’t about “positive thinking” — it’s about realistic thinking and learning how to respond differently to life’s challenges.
