CBT is based on the idea that the way we think about situations can affect the way we feel and behave.
In CBT you learn to stop the cycle of negative thinking and you work to identify and challenge any negative thinking patterns and behaviour which may be causing all sorts of difficulties in your life.
In turn this can change the way you feel about situations, and enable you to change your behaviour in the future.
CBT is a flexible therapy that can help in many mental health issues including anger problems, anxiety and panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) phobias, sleep problems and depression.
