Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, strategies-based approach which is appropriate for managing emotional difficulties such as anxiety and depression.

CBT is based on the understanding that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, individuals can improve their emotional wellbeing and develop more effective coping strategies.
