Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic approach, which is commonly used for a range of mental health difficulties. It aims to increase awareness of the things that we struggle with and help us find ways to cope better and overcome them.

CBT is based on the concept that our thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviours are interconnected; our thoughts and actions can lead to our emotional state and vice versa. We can find ourselves trapped in vicious cycles of difficulties that limit our lives.

CBT is a structured, focused, and collaborative process through which we can identify the areas of our lives that we would like to explore. Treatment can be short or long-term, and often involves in-between session work that aims to enable us to become our own therapist and break out of the cycles that keep difficulties going.
