Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Explore the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions, and develop practical ways to approach everyday challenges.
Understanding CBT
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or CBT, explores how the way we interpret situations can influence our emotions and actions. It also considers how patterns of behaviour can maintain difficulties. Therapy involves working collaboratively to understand these connections and explore changes that support your goals.
What sessions may involve
Depending on your needs, CBT may include:
- Exploring situations that bring up worry or distress.
- Identifying recurring thoughts and considering alternative perspectives.
- Developing practical coping and problem-solving skills.
- Planning manageable steps towards activities or situations that feel difficult.
- Practising agreed strategies between appointments and reviewing what you notice.
Choosing an approach that fits
CBT is a collaborative process. Your experiences, circumstances and priorities help shape the work. You can discuss what you hope to change, what has helped before and whether this approach feels useful to you.
Appointments
Psychology appointments are available via telehealth across Australia, or in person in Brisbane. Contact the team to discuss your needs and whether this approach and appointment format are suitable for you.
