People are disturbed not by things but by views which they take of them.

What Is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
CBT is a type of therapy developed in the 1950's by the American psychiatrist A.T. Beck. It involves working with your thoughts (cognitions), your behaviours (what you do) in order to change your emotions. The therapist and the client work together, in partnership to help the process of change. For this reason, the therapist will ask the client to perform some tasks between sessions. The most common task is to record particular thoughts triggered by particular situations. Counselling may involve taping the session to allow the client to listen and learn from it in his/her home.

What Conditions Can it Help?
CBT can help particularly depression, anxiety,PTSD, Chronic Fatigue,and anger related conditions. Stress and work related issues also seem to benefit from this approach.

What Benefits Can Be Expected?
Through the counselling process and the individual committment, clients will be able to acquire new skills and new insight of themselves which eventually will enable them to be their own therapist.
