What Is CBT?

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that helps people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. When we’re struggling emotionally, our thinking patterns can become negative, self-critical, or distorted, leaving us feeling stuck. CBT helps identify these thought loops and learn how to shift them in a more balanced and realistic direction.

How CBT Works

In therapy, you and your counsellor will work together to explore the beliefs and behaviours that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or other challenges. CBT includes skill-building, such as learning to challenge unhelpful thoughts, develop healthier coping strategies, and take small, manageable steps towards your goals. It's a collaborative, action-oriented process that focuses on what’s happening in your life now while exploring where certain patterns may have originated.

Why People Choose CBT

CBT is evidence-based, goal-focused, and can be tailored to suit a wide range of concerns. Many people appreciate its practical nature and the tools they can carry forward into daily life. Whether you're looking to manage stress, reduce anxious thinking, or improve your mood and confidence, CBT offers concrete strategies that can lead to meaningful change in how you think and how you feel.
