Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is built on the understanding that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are all linked. The way we interpret a situation can influence how we feel emotionally, which then shapes how we act. For example, when we view something negatively, it can trigger difficult emotions and patterns of behaviour that reinforce one another.
CBT brings together two therapeutic approaches to help you break these cycles:
Although CBT is widely used to support people experiencing anxiety and depression, it is also effective for a broad range of difficulties, including obsessive‑compulsive disorder (OCD), post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating‑related concerns, and many other mental health challenges.
During CBT, you work collaboratively with your therapist to identify, question and reshape unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. Sessions often focus on what you are facing in the present, but there is also space to explore past experiences when they continue to affect how you feel today.
