What Is CBT?
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is a structured, time-limited psychotherapy that helps you understand and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.
By addressing how thoughts, emotions, and actions interact, CBT empowers you with tools to navigate difficulties and create meaningful change.
You’ll learn to:
Recognise unhelpful thinking patterns
Understand how thoughts impact emotions and behaviour
Identify behaviours that reinforce negative feelings
Break out of these cycles using practical strategies
Build healthier coping tools and habits
CBT is collaborative, active, and goal-oriented. It equips you to become your own therapist in the long term.
