Practical, evidence-informed therapy to help you understand patterns of thinking, manage difficult emotions and develop effective coping strategies.
A clear, practical approach
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, commonly called CBT, is one of the most researched psychological therapies. It focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and behaviours. By understanding these connections, people can recognise patterns that may be keeping difficulties going and develop practical skills for everyday life.
