My Approach<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is CBT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical evidence based type of therapy that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, physical reactions, and behaviors<\/strong>. The goal is to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and learn new ways of responding to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In sessions, you’ll work with your therapist to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Notice unhelpful thoughts and beliefs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Explore how those thoughts affect your emotions and actions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Learn skills to challenge or reframe thoughts that aren’t serving you well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Try out new behaviors and coping strategies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Practice these skills between sessions in everyday life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    CBT is an evidence-based therapy, meaning it has been extensively researched and is effective for a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, and many other mental health concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    CBT works best as a collaborative process between you and your therapist. Your active participation is important because you are the expert on your own experiences, thoughts, and feelings. If something doesn’t feel accurate, helpful, or relevant, please say so. Your feedback helps shape the therapy, ensures that we focus on what matters most to you, and allows us to adjust our approach when needed. There are no “wrong” answers, and it is completely appropriate to question, clarify, or correct your therapist at any point during the process.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
