What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based intervention that has demonstrated a high success rate in treating a range of conditions, including substance use, behavioural addiction, anxiety disorder, depression, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other severe mental illnesses.
What sets CBT apart from other psychotherapies is its strong foundation in both research and clinical practice. It is also a goal-driven and problem-oriented approach that provides individuals with long-term skills to maintain their wellness.
CBT is based on the core principles that psychological problems are based, in part, on faulty ways of thinking and learned patterns of unhelpful behaviour, and individuals can learn better ways of coping to relieve symptoms and become more effective in their lives.
