Practical Tools for lasting change

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, results-focused approach designed to help you identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that may be keeping you “stuck”. Backed by decades of research, CBT offers clear, practical strategies to reduce emotional distress, change behaviour, and build long-term resilience.

Rooted in the idea that it’s not events themselves, but how we interpret them that shapes our experience, CBT empowers you to break free from negative cycles, and replace them with healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and responding.

How CBT Works

CBT helps you uncover and transform:

• Negative Automatic Thoughts (NATs): Fast, often unconscious thoughts that can trigger anxiety, shame, or low mood.
• Dysfunctional Assumptions: Rigid “shoulds” and “musts” that create unnecessary pressure, guilt, and excessive responsibility.
• Core Beliefs: Deep-rooted views about yourself, others, or the world that often develop early in life and influence how you interpret current events.
• Maintenance Cycles: CBT helps you disrupt these loops that reinforce distress and unhappiness over time, and create new, adaptive patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.

What to Expect

CBT is:

• Collaborative and Goal-Oriented: You’ll work with your therapist to focus on specific goals that matter to you.
• Structured and Time-Limited: Most people see meaningful change within a defined number of sessions.
• Active and Practical: You’ll learn techniques and tools you can use between sessions and long after therapy ends.

Third-wave approaches:

CBT can also be enriched with modern approaches, including 

• Mindfulness-Based Interventions – fostering present-moment awareness
• Compassion-Focused Therapy – nurturing a kinder inner voice
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – aligning actions with values
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – building emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness

These approaches can help you build your tolerance of sitting with uncomfortable emotions, and respond to life with more resilience and self-trust.
