CBT Therapy for Thoughts, Beliefs, and Attitudes
Psychotherapy Designed For Happiness
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach to addressing mental health challenges by focusing on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

Goal-setting is a cornerstone of CBT, providing a roadmap for tracking progress and achieving meaningful outcomes. During the initial sessions, your therapist will collaborate to define specific objectives tailored to your needs, such as reducing anxiety or improving relationships.
These goals ensure therapy remains focused and productive, while regular reviews help adjust strategies as you progress.

CBT therapy focuses more on current thought patterns and behaviours than the past, though past experiences may be explored when relevant.
Techniques behavioural therapists might use include journaling, thought challenging, relaxation exercises, mindfulness, and behavioural experiments to reframe negative thinking and foster growth.
Reflect on your current challenges and goals. Be ready to discuss specific situations or thoughts you want to address during therapy. Need help with cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety? We can help.
While highly effective for many, individual responses vary. CBT works best for those open to actively engaging with the process.
Homework reinforces skills learned during sessions, such as journaling or practicing mindfulness, ensuring continued progress outside therapy.
Discuss your concerns with your therapist. They can adjust techniques or strategies to suit your needs and challenges better.
CBT typically lasts 8–20 sessions, depending on individual goals and complexity. Its benefits are often long-lasting, thanks to practical tools learned during therapy.
