Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Approaches

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) encourages the awareness and understanding of patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours. The idea of CBT is to learn more about the link between our thinking, how this can influence our feelings and in turn impact upon our behaviour. CBT involves understanding our cognitions or thoughts and also involves behavioural exposure or experiments to put into practice what has been discussed during the therapy. There are a number of CBT online courses that can help people who experience mild to moderate anxiety or depression.
