Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are closely connected. The way we think about situations can shape how we feel and act, influencing the choices we make, the way we relate to others, and how we experience everyday life.

The therapy helps you recognise unhelpful patterns in your thinking or behaviour and understand how they affect you. With support, you can learn techniques and practical skills to shift these patterns and begin to break cycles that keep you stuck, reduce distress, and find steadier, more helpful ways of responding to life’s challenges.

CBT is a practical, active, and collaborative approach. While it may touch on the origins of your difficulties, the focus is on your life in the present – identifying solutions and approaches that feel realistic and meaningful. The goal is to help you build confidence, resilience, and a greater sense of ease in your day-to-day life.
