CBT Explained

What is CBT?

**All 1-1 CBT now available by video or phone**

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or CBT, is an advanced type of psychological therapy that can be very effective in the treatment of depression and all types of anxiety problems incl social anxiety, health anxiety, phobias, stress, and generalised worrying. 

  • CBT focuses on the way in which our thinking (cognitions), emotions and behaviour are interconnected. 
  • It is very much a collaborative type of therapy, where the clinician and the client work together to break particular problems into smaller components in order to understand how and why particular mood states are occurring.  ​
  • Ways to intervene to break maladaptive patterns are then reviewed and often rehearsed in real world settings.

Getting CBT Supports

**All 1-1 CBT now available by video or phone; and from the comfort and privacy of home**

Adults can access CBT with us either on a 1-1 basis OR via our 5-week adult "Stress Busters" community CBT course. Those that do the adult "Stress Busters" course will need fewer 1-1 sessions, i.e. it is possible to gain general CBT insights at the community course, and then use the 1-1 sessions for techniques specific to each individual/situation. By the same token, many of our clients prefer to have 1-1 CBT from the beginning.  

Attend for information and prevention if not support

I would recommend this CBT to others, definitely. ... I found it great. I had learnt one way in life, and had to learn another in therapy. And it is definitely worth it. I am just doing things I didn’t before and life is good. ...  I now know what to do going forward but it is good to know that there are a follow up supports if needed. ... I definitely plan to go forward and actively use the techniques. Thanks Ann. Thanks very much.

"I have been re-educated about mood and am applying what I have learned to my life.  I am able to cope with stress much better and I find that I am happier in myself.   This course has changed my life.  I know that is a cheesy statement, but it sums up how I feel."
