Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy. It is based on the idea that there is an interaction between how we think (cognition), feel (emotion/physical sensations) and act (behaviour).

CBT can be helpful in treating many mental disorders, including:

  • depression
  • anxiety disorders: panic, agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, illness anxiety, specific phobias
  • obsessive compulsive spectrum disorders: obsessive compulsive disorder, habit disorders, tics  
  • trauma and stressor related disorders
  • sleep disorders  
  • schizophrenia spectrum disorders and bipolar disorders, in combination with medication
