C.B.T Counselling Portlaoise

Cognitive behavioural therapy is a mixture of cognitive and behavioural therapy. A cognitive behaviour therapist can help you understand how thinking and behaviour influence your feelings and situation and how to develop new thinking or behaviour which enables you to address specific problems and fears more effectively.

The underlying concept behind C.B.T. is that our thoughts and feelings play a fundamental role in our behaviour. For example, a person who spends a lot of time thinking about plane crashes, runway accidents, and other air disasters may find themselves avoiding air travel. The goal of cognitive behaviour therapy is to teach people that while they cannot control every aspect of the world around them, they can begin to take control of how they interpret and deal with things in their environment.

Cognitive behaviour therapy is and has become increasingly popular in recent years with both mental health consumers and treatment professionals. Because C.B.T. is usually a short-term treatment option, it is often more affordable than some other types of therapy. C.B.T. is also empirically supported and has been shown to effectively help patients overcome the following:

CBT type of psychotherapy in which negative patterns of thought about the self and the world are challenged in order to alter unwanted behaviour patterns or treat mood disorders such as depression.

Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps patients, understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behaviours. CBT is commonly used to treat a wide range of disorders including phobias, addictions, depression, and anxiety.

Cognitive behaviour therapy is generally short-term and focused on helping clients deal with a very specific problem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, also referred to as CBT, is an evidence-based psychological treatment proven to be effective through rigorous scientific research. This means that CBT treatment is not based on what people think might work, but what has been proven to work.

Evidence-based treatment can increase the chance that a problem is identified accurately and treated effectively. This can prevent the problem from being drawn out unnecessarily and decrease the chances of it coming back (i.e., relapse).

Research has shown that CBT is an effective treatment for a wide range of problems (e.g., depression, anxiety, chronic pain, disordered eating, low self-esteem, anger problems, and addiction).
