Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was developed in the 1960s by psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Beck and has since become a widely trusted and evidence-based approach to psychotherapy. It recognizes the profound impact that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have on one another. Many contemporary therapies draw upon the valuable insights found in CBT. At its core, CBT emphasizes that our thoughts can greatly influence our emotions and actions. By working together to identify and reshape negative or distorted thought patterns, individuals can experience meaningful improvements in their emotional well-being and overall behavior. This process can be a powerful step towards healing and growth, offering hope and support along the journey.

What to expect?

Many modern therapies draw from the foundational concepts of CBT, reflecting its enduring relevance. It’s a widely embraced and evidence-based form of psychotherapy that recognizes the deep connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. At its heart, CBT teaches us that our thoughts can significantly shape our emotions and actions. By gently addressing and reshaping negative or distorted thought patterns, individuals can find a path to improved emotional well-being and healthier behaviors. In CBT, clients collaborate with a therapist to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and are often assigned homework between sessions. They learn to replace these thoughts with more balanced and realistic ones while also developing healthier coping strategies.

What can CBT treat?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and trauma. However, it can also address a variety of other mental health challenges, including insomnia, addiction, fears, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
