Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapies, or CBT, are a range of talking therapies based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, what we do and how our body feels are all interconnected. When we feel worried or distressed we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can worsen how we feel. CBT works to help us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns, so we can feel better. CBT teaches you coping strategies that can help you in the here and now with different problems.
