Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in an evidence-based therapeutic approach that is structured and goal-oriented. It focuses on understanding the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The CBT model holds that thoughts influence how we feel and act.
