What is CBT?
Cognitive behavioural therapy is an active and solution-focused form of therapy. CBT is a psychological treatment of choice for depression, anxiety and a range of other emotional disorders. The basic principle of CBT is that our emotional reactions such as anxiety, sadness, anger and guilt are not only from situations in themselves but also from the perception we take of them.
In retrospect, our thoughts, feelings and behaviours primed up a vicious cycle which could maintain ongoing problems, therefore, makes it difficult for any changes to take place. CBT focus on trying to intercept these vicious cycle through exploring our beliefs, thoughts and behaviours by finding alternative ways to change them. Subsequently, empowering the client to move towards a more confident mind and to improve their daily lives
I also help clients to find a way forward through their emotional difficulties by making sure that each treatment plan is designed for each individual client. Generally, my aim is to assist clients to gain the best result tailored for his or her own needs by respectfully allowing them full autonomy over their treatment.
