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. If you have unhelpful thoughts, they can lead to distressing feelings, and maladaptive behaviours. CBT focuses on changing the way you think about situations so you can change how you feel and how you respond to challenges.
