What is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a well-known, evidence-based therapy for a variety of mental health issues and can also be helpful for anyone who is under stressful situations. CBT focuses on changing your problematic thinking patterns and unhelpful behavioural routines. As a whole, CBT is ‘problem focused’ and ‘action oriented’, yielding great results. In studies, CBT alone has been shown to be as effective as medications.

“Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (or CBT) is the most trusted of all available therapies out there. The benefits are well documented in decades of research, and with the right therapist, you can see real results in a relatively short period of time.”
What results will I see with CBT?
CBT will help you identify and challenge problematic thinking patterns, understand the relationship between your emotions, behaviours and thoughts, identify and shift patterns of unhelpful coping strategies, learn new and helpful ways to respond to your environment, improve relationships with others and with yourself, cope with grief or loss, and/or cope with pain or trauma.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy works relatively fast, with many people saying they start to notice improvement in just a few sessions. Typically, a therapist will recommend between 6 to 18 sessions, depending on the nature of the problem. Therapy sessions for CBT are usually one hour in length, done on a weekly or biweekly basis. The therapist will send you home with tracking sheets and home practice, keeping you accountable for practicing the skills between sessions.
