What is CBT?

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy that focuses on the relationship between our thoughts (aka cognitions), feelings and behaviours.

No two people are the same. We all view the world and respond to situations based on our personal experience. Some thoughts and behaviours that we develop over time can be healthy, adaptive and useful. However, some thoughts and behaviours that we develop over time can lead to distress and other unpleasant emotions. CBT aims to help a person develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to situations so we can function better in our daily lives.

CBT is one of the most widely studied forms of talk therapy. It has been proven effective for depression, anxiety, stress, OCD, PTSD and a number of other concerns.
