Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioural therapy, often known as CBT, is a way of alleviating psychological distress.

How does CBT help?

CBT treatment aims to help people understand the underlying factors, unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that are linked to their emotional distress and destructive behaviours. By learning to challenge negative thoughts and irrational beliefs, individuals can learn to create alternative more helpful emotional and behavioural responses to situations and their feelings.

What happens in CBT?

In CBT treatment, individuals are supported in finding specific goals and ways of identifying and challenging problems. This gives the individual the tools to help manage their difficulties themselves, giving them a sense of autonomy over their wellbeing.
