What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used and well-documented forms of therapy. The method focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that maintain psychological difficulties. CBT is used for anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, and sleep problems, and is typically a structured short-term therapy with exercises between sessions.
