CBT – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

The aim of CBT is to assist people in changing their Thinking and Behaviour and in so doing give them symptomatic relive from distressing unhelpful patterns. CBT does not tend to focus on the past.

How does it work?

In CBT problems are broken down into smaller parts:

Bigger issues are broken down into component problems, events or difficult situations.

Then the unhelpful Thoughts, Emotions, Physical feelings, Actions associated with each component are discussed. The next step is to practice substituting each Unhelpful Thought and Action with a Helpful Thought and Action.
