Specialities (CBT)
What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is a goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. Its goal is to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind people's difficulties, and so change the way they feel. CBT provides strategies to implement in everyday life that helps an individual cope with adverse life experiences.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviours, not external things, like people, situations, and events. The benefit of this fact is that we can change the way we think to feel / act better even if the situation does not change.
