What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
CBT has been proved to be helpful in treating a wide range of emotional disorders. It aims to help through focusing on the effects that thinking can have on feelings and mood. The therapist and client work together in changing ways of thinking and acting, to help the way the person feels.
What happens in therapy sessions?
