Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies (CBT) is a broad term used to describe techniques that are based on scientific evidence to understand and treat psychological symptoms. CBT therapists are interested in how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact with the idea that if you can change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

CBT works on the premise that for every situation you encounter, you make certain assumptions or interpretations about what’s going on. Based on your thoughts, you are likely to feel a certain way and act in a certain way. These assumptions are developed as a result of past experiences, core values, and beliefs you hold about yourself, others, and the world in general. You have a unique, specific set of lenses through which you view and make sense of the world. We can help you identify patterns of negative thinking that may be driving your negative emotions, such as depression or anxiety. This is the cognitive part of CBT that refers to our cognitions or thoughts. 

The behavioural part of CBT looks at a number of factors that might be maintaining the problems you are having. We can help you to identify more usual activities and positive lifestyle changes that will help pull you out of depression, or teach you the skills you need to be more assertive, or to physically relax. We can help you face the very things you fear, using a gradual exposure therapy approach.

The main goal of CBT is to teach an individual the tools they need to reduce their anxiety or depression. We train you to become your own therapist, so that you will always have the knowledge and skills needed to manage anxiety and depression.
