Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Rewire your thinking
Manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is about looking at the relationship between your thoughts and feelings, and how they make you ‘default’ to certain behaviours. CBT is seen as a different kind of ‘talking therapy’ that aims to solve a person’s current problems. This helps you become your own therapist, using the skills you have learned.

How does it work?
CBT is a way to rewire the software of your brain, rehearsing troubling situations in your mind to create alternative ways of thinking when that situation arises again. This helps you create a new mental circuitry by challenging and changing old responses that feel hardwired in but aren’t.
With CBT, your therapist will acknowledge that there may be behaviours that you cannot control through rational thought. That’s because your harmful coping strategies are because of prior conditioning from the environment and other internal or external stimuli.
By taking (what can feel like) insurmountable tasks and teaching you how to apply a pragmatic and objective viewpoint to these issues, CBT gradually changes the way you look at everyday challenges. You’ll leave with techniques that transform you from feeling like a victim, into someone who can control the way they respond.
“We all have our default ways of dealing with situations. Most of us aren’t even aware of what they are. And some of the time they work. But like a tradesman who turns up to every job with the same couple of tools, there will be situations where those tools just aren’t the right ones. CBT makes you aware and gives you a versatile practical set of life skills to become more agile, versatile and resilient for whatever life throws at you.”
