What is CBT

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, goal-oriented  form of therapy that focuses on how maladaptive thoughts affect feelings , behaviours and physical sensations.

CBT is based on scientific research and has been applied to a wide range of mental health conditions: Depression, Anxiety Disorders (such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Attacks, Phobias, Generalized Anxiety) , Eating Disorders, Relationship difficulties…among others.

​

The therapist will help the client to learn  and practice effective strategies to address the identified goals and decrease symptoms of the disorder

CBT should begin with a detailed assessment or formulation of the problem, unique and tailor-made to the client

 

CBT is often more effective when combined with medication
