What is CBT?

CBT can help with depression, anxiety, and a wide range of other problems.

CBT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on how a person’s thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes affect their feelings and behaviours.

It’s based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a vicious cycle.

The principal aim of this therapeutic approach is to enable the person to become their own therapist and to provide them with the knowledge and tools to continue working towards complete recovery.

CBT can have a positive impact on how people feel and act and equip them with coping strategies that help them deal with challenges.

Research shows that CBT can offer support to people with depression, panic disorder, and various other health conditions.

  • I was referred to the service through my employee assistance program from my employer. Rashda helped me identify how certain thought processes and subsequent behaviours were causing difficulties in my personal and working life. I am now more aware of triggers, avoidance behaviours and what maintains my anxiety. I couldn’t recommend CBT enough! Jake S
