Understanding
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a widely used talking therapy developed in the 1960s that helps people manage problems by changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. It is evidence-based and effective for a range of mental health issues, including anxiety and depression.
How This Therapy Works
CBT is structured and goal-oriented. In sessions, you work collaboratively with a therapist to identify negative thought patterns and behaviors, then learn practical techniques to challenge and replace them. Sessions often include exercises, homework, and skill-building, focusing on present-day issues rather than delving deeply into the past.
Is It Right for Me?
CBT suits individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, phobias, and many other conditions. It’s ideal for those who want a practical, problem-solving approach and are willing to actively participate in their own progress. If you’re unsure, a therapist can help you decide if CBT matches your needs.
