CBT is a structured, practical talking therapy that helps people understand the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier responses to life’s challenges.
CBT is recommended for a wide range of mental health concerns and is often a first-line treatment. It’s especially helpful for:
Depression
Generalised anxiety disorder
Social anxiety
PTSD
OCD
Panic attacks
Phobias
Health anxiety
Sleep difficulties
Low self-esteem
CBT can also support people dealing with long-term stress, chronic illness, or who want structured ways to manage emotion and behaviour. It suits those who appreciate clear goals and active strategies, and can be adapted for neurodivergent adults, trauma survivors, and people with complex or co-occurring diagnoses.
