Frequently Asked Questions

What is CBT therapy and how does it work?
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours. It works by teaching practical strategies to challenge and reframe unhelpful thoughts, leading to healthier behaviours and emotions. CBT is often short-term and focuses on the present, aiming to empower individuals with tools to manage their issues independently.
The three core principles of CBT are: 1. Cognitive Principle: Thoughts influence emotions and behaviours. 2. Behavioural Principle: Changing behaviours can reduce symptoms and improve well-being. 3. Continuum Principle: Mental health issues exist on a spectrum, and gradual change is possible for everyone.
1. Assessment: Identify the issues and set goals. 2. Education: Learn about CBT principles and how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are interconnected. 3. Cognitive Restructuring: Identify and challenge negative thoughts. 4. Behavioural Activation: Develop and implement strategies to change negative behaviours. 5. Evaluation and Maintenance: Review progress, reinforce skills, and plan for maintaining improvements.
