What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

Cognitive behavioural therapy is a commonly used approach in mental health counselling. It's based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are all interconnected. And, that negative thoughts, distorted beliefs, and irrational fears can lead to problematic issues like anxiety, depression, eating disorders, stress, and anger.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy cbt
CBT helps you understand your own thinking patterns and behaviours, so that you can actively challenge them if they are causing problems for you. It also helps you identify the situations and events that trigger these unhealthy patterns, so that you can cope with them in the future. It is a popular approach because it is practical and easy to use. The skills learned will help you manage difficult situations by changing your behaviour rather than avoiding them altogether or letting yourself get overwhelmed by them. They'll also help prevent emotional problems from getting worse over time by empowering you to take control.

Stress Individual Therapy

Stress & Burnout

CBT helps people learn to manage their stress and prevent burnout by identifying the sources of your stress, helping you gain perspective and teaching you strategies to handle any situation.

How Does It Work?

Cognitive behavioural therapy helps you develop the skills to manage your feelings more effectively by breaking down your problems into smaller steps. This helps you get through them one at a time instead of feeling overwhelmed. The process starts with identifying what's causing you stress or anxiety in the first place. Then we'll work together to identify any negative thoughts or beliefs that are contributing to your situation. Once we've identified those thoughts, we can start to change them so they're more positive and realistic. From there, we'll work on effective strategies to help you cope with stressful situations in the future so they don't feel so overwhelming anymore.
