Taking the First Step

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, time-limited psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The core idea is that our thoughts influence our emotions and actions, and by changing negative thought patterns, we can improve our mental health and overall well-being.

 

Key Principles of CBT

  1. Cognitive Restructuring: Identify and challenge unhelpful or distorted thoughts that contribute to emotional distress.

  2. Behavioural Activation: Engage in activities that bring joy or fulfilment, helping to counteract feelings of sadness or anxiety.

  3. Problem-Solving: Develop practical strategies to address challenges and reduce stress.

  4. Skill Building: Learn coping skills and techniques to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.

  • Structured Approach: CBT is goal-oriented and typically involves a limited number of sessions, making it a focused and efficient form of therapy.

  • Empowerment: Clients gain valuable tools and techniques they can use long after therapy ends.

  • Evidence-Based: Extensive research supports the effectiveness of CBT for a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more.
