Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy, based on the theory that thoughts, feelings, what we do and how our body feels are all connected. If we change one of these, we can alter the others.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is most effective in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, panic, PTSD, bipolar disorder, psychosis and phobias (including agoraphobia and social phobia). Difficulties with sleep, anger management, low self-esteem and physical health problems can also be tackled by CBT.

When we feel worried or distressed, we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can worsen how we feel. CBT helps us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns so we can feel better.
