Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is a practical and effective approach designed to help you tackle specific emotional challenges and mental health issues.

CBT is particularly effective for:

  • Phobias

  • Panic attacks

  • Obsessive-compulsive behaviours

How Does CBT Work?

CBT focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

The Process Involves:

  • Identifying negative thought patterns

  • Challenging these patterns

  • Practicing new coping skills

  • Applying these skills to daily life

Addressing Limiting Beliefs

CBT helps you pinpoint underlying limiting beliefs and teaches you how to challenge and reframe them.

For example, If you struggle with the limiting belief: "I'm not good enough":

  • The CBT approach explores the evidence for and against this belief, identifies cognitive distortions, and reframes it into a more balanced thought

  • The result is a reframed belief, e.g. “I have strengths and areas for growth, just like everyone else"

Is CBT Right for You?

Consider CBT if you're looking for:

  • A clear, structured approach

  • Help addressing specific issues

  • Methods to alleviate present symptoms
