What is Cognitive behavioural therapy?
Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is a practical, short-term form of psychotherapy. It helps people to develop skills and strategies to stay healthy.
CBT focuses on the here-and-now problems that come up in day-to-day life. CBT helps people to examine how they make sense of what is happening around them and how these perceptions affect the way they feel.
CBT:
- is structured
- is time-limited (usually 6-20 sessions)
- is problem-focused and goal-oriented
- teaches strategies and skills
- is based on a proactive, shared therapeutic relationship between therapist and client.
