Cognitive Behaviourial Therapy
Understanding Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviour
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a specialised form of psychotherapy that focuses on how our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviours. This approach is based on the idea that by identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns, we can positively influence how we feel and act in daily life. CBT encourages individuals to become aware of their automatic thoughts and understand how these contribute to emotional responses and behaviour patterns. It’s a collaborative process that promotes greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a meaningful mindset shift, supporting a healthier mental state overall.
Effective Treatment for Specific Conditions
CBT is a structured and evidence-based therapy proven to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health concerns. These include anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and phobias. It is especially useful for people who prefer practical, solution-focused approaches. CBT typically involves setting clear therapeutic goals with the mental health professional, and each session builds on the last. The focus remains on the present and on learning tools that clients can apply in everyday situations, leading to real, measurable improvements over time.
Clarifying Goals and Changing Patterns
A key part of CBT is goal-setting. First, clients clarify life priorities together. Then, they set clear goals that reflect values. This creates motivation throughout the therapy process. In each session, specific techniques are introduced. These help modify behaviours and thinking patterns. As a result, thoughts become more realistic and balanced. Gradually, unhelpful responses are replaced with healthier ones. Over time, emotional wellbeing improves with daily functioning. Ultimately, clients gain purpose, confidence, and control.
