Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is a word that simply means helping you look at your thinking (cognitive) and what you do (behaviour). There is evidence to suggest that CBT is helpful for many problems including depression, anxiety, phobias, addictions, stress and other disorders. CBT is also helpful to help you with how to practically manage situations and people. It’s about learning positive thinking and helpful behaviours that support you.
