Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
A structured, time-bound approach that identifies unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, replacing them with healthier, evidence-based coping strategies.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is built on a well-evidenced premise: our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns can meaningfully change how we feel and act. Sessions are structured and collaborative, with a clear agenda each time.
Rather than talking indefinitely about problems, CBT teaches concrete skills — identifying automatic negative thoughts, testing them against evidence, and gradually replacing unhelpful patterns with more balanced ones you can keep using long after therapy ends.
What to expect

Who this is for
- Anxiety and depression
- Negative thought spirals
- Those who prefer a structured approach
CBT is one of the most heavily researched forms of psychotherapy, with strong evidence for depression, anxiety disorders, and a wide range of other concerns. Treatment is typically time-bound, often 8 to 20 weekly sessions depending on the concern being addressed.
