  • anxiety, depression and mood swings
  • shyness and social anxiety
  • panic attacks and phobias
  • obsessions and compulsions (OCD and related conditions)
  • chronic anxiety or worry

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Explained

CBT combines two very effective kinds of approaches — Cognitive Therapy and Behavioural Therapy. Behavioral Therapy helps weaken the connections between troublesome situations and your habitual reactions to them.

We specialize in the treatment of men.

These reactions include fear, depression or rage, and self-defeating or self-damaging behavior. It also teaches you how to calm your mind and body, so you can feel better, think more clearly and make better decisions.

Cognitive Therapy shows you how certain thinking patterns cause your symptoms by showing you a distorted picture of what’s going on in your life, and making you feel anxious, depressed or angry for no good reason, or provoking you into ill-chosen actions.

In CBT, your therapist takes an active part in solving your problems. He or she doesn’t settle for just nodding wisely while you carry the whole burden of finding the answers you came to therapy for. In many ways, CBT resembles education, coaching or tutoring.

Under expert guidance, as a CBT client, you will share in setting treatment goals and in deciding which techniques work best for you personally. Cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety really helps.
