Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based, structured form of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking, behaviour, and emotional response.
Core Principles of CBT:
-
The way we think affects how we feel and behave.
-
Unhelpful thoughts and behaviours can be learned—and unlearned.
-
By changing thought patterns and behaviours, we can improve emotional wellbeing.
What CBT Can Help With:

Anxiety disorders (e.g., generalised anxiety, panic, phobias)
-
Depression
-
Stress and burnout
-
OCD and PTSD
-
Insomnia
-
Chronic pain and health-related challenges
How CBT Works:
CBT is collaborative and goal-oriented. In therapy, we work together to:
-
Identify negative or distorted thinking patterns
-
Develop healthier, more adaptive thoughts
-
Practice behavioural strategies to reinforce change
-
Build practical skills for managing current and future challenges
