What is CBT?
A practical, evidence-based approach to changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured form of talking therapy that focuses on how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. It helps you recognise unhelpful patterns and gives you the tools to create lasting, positive change.
Whether you're feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, low mood, or chronic stress, CBT offers a way to move forward — one practical step at a time.
How CBT Works
CBT is based on a simple but powerful idea: our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are all connected — and each one can influence the others.
When we’re caught in patterns of negative thinking, strong emotions, or unhelpful behaviours, it can feel difficult to break free. CBT helps you understand and interrupt those cycles with strategies that are practical, structured, and evidence-based.
In therapy, we work together to:
Identify unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that keep you stuck
Understand how these patterns interact and reinforce each other
Develop more balanced ways of thinking
Build healthier coping strategies and habits that support real, lasting change
CBT is active and collaborative — it’s not just about talking, but about testing out new approaches in everyday life so change becomes possible and sustainable.
