WHAT IS COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY?

Cognition is about the way our mind processes information, thoughts and images ; its about the things we think about and believe to be true. Behaviour is about our actions. CBT is about the correlation between our cognitive and behaviour i.e how and what we think, affects the way we behave.

By doing this, the client is able to learn to understand themself better and move forward positively by making the changes that are needed in their life.
