What is CBT?

What is CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based talking therapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.

It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are interconnected—and that changing one can influence the others.

CBT is effective for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, OCD, panic, and more. It's collaborative, goal-focused, and helps individuals learn practical tools to manage their mental health both in the short and long term.
