Start Your Healing Journey with CBT
(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, a CBT therapist can help. At The Counselling and Psychotherapy Collective, we use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support people just like you, people navigating anxiety, stress, depression, or big life changes.
Our therapists are here to help you build practical tools, feel more in control, and move forward.
What Is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours all work together. CBT is structured, evidence-based, and helps you recognize patterns that may be getting in your way, like self-doubt, worry, or avoidance, and gently shift them.
How CBT Works
CBT works by helping you notice unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with ones that support your well-being. In therapy, you’ll work with your therapist to practice new behavioural skills to create lasting change.
Conditions It Can Help With
Some of the most common concerns we use CBT to address include:
- Anxiety Disorders: CBT for anxiety can help you manage anxious thoughts, reduce panic symptoms, and feel more in control in everyday situations.
- Depression: CBT for depression focuses on shifting negative thinking patterns and rebuilding motivation, energy, and hope.
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Offers tools to process past experiences gently and reduce the emotional weight of trauma.
- Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD): We help you manage intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours with practical strategies that support long-term relief.
- Eating Disorders: CBT supports healing your relationship with food, body image, and self-worth at your own pace.
- Insomnia: By addressing thought patterns and behaviours that interfere with sleep, CBT can improve your ability to rest and recharge.
- Chronic Pain: We explore how emotions and thoughts can affect physical pain—and offer ways to cope more comfortably.
ADHD: CBT for ADHD helps with focus, time management, and emotional regulation, especially when day-to-day life feels overwhelming.
