Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment approach for a range of mental and emotional health issues including anxiety and depression. CBT aims to help a person identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies. This approach supports clients to identify the relationship between thoughts, feelings, actions and underlying core beliefs. It often involves integrating mindfulness components (known as Mindfulness based CBT) based on the current research findings which highlight the value of learning to change the way you relate to thoughts, feelings and sensations.
