Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a structured, time-limited psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing maladaptive thought patterns and behaviours. Typically lasting 12-16 sessions, CBT is used to treat various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It employs strategies like goal-setting, breathing techniques, and mindfulness to reduce emotional distress and self-defeating behaviours. CBT can be delivered individually, in groups, or remotely. Its effectiveness has been well-documented, making it a first-line treatment for many disorders. CBT's principle is that changing negative thought patterns can positively impact emotions and behaviours.
