Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy

CBT is a short-term treatment that helps clients to understand how cognitive processes, that is, thoughts, beliefs and attitudes, impact on how they behave in response to emotional issues. This type of therapy aims to help clients change their underlying thought and behaviour patterns which will alter how they feel. This helps clients develop valuable tools for managing their emotional problems more effectively. CBT can be particularly relevant for individuals diagnosed with co-occurring conditions, for example, depression or anxiety.
