Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is an active-directive approach to psychotherapy which sets out to accomplish a number of things:
- It aims to teach people that emotional disturbance is not caused by events, but are based on the self-defeating beliefs that people hold about these events
- It sets out to teach people to identify, evaluate and change these self-defeating beliefs to those that are more healthy for bpt the individuals and the organisations in which these people work
- It encourages people to act in ways that support these healthy beliefs
- It helps people to identify the obstacles to change that will help both them and the organisations in which they work
Our role is to listen, teach, and encourage our clients to express their concerns, so that they learn new ways of overcoming problems in everyday life. We work collaboratively as therapists in the corporate, public and private sector and our work with clients is dedicated to helping them overcome psychological problems. We are committed to enhancing clinical practice and theory by contributing to research and study in the field of CBT. We regularly attend seminars and professional development training and network with other therapists in the same field.
