Benefits of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that psychological problems come from (in part) unhelpful thoughts and patterns of unhelpful behaviour. CBT helps you identify unhelpful thinking patterns and reframe them with differing perspectives.
CBT therapists can help people learn better ways of coping with challenges and help relieve their symptoms of depression and anxiety.
CBT is effective in addressing a wide range of mental health issues, including social anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and eating disorders.
