What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), is a psycho-social intervention that is designed to talk through a person’s mental dreads that can help a person manage his problems by changing the way he thinks behaves and processes real-life situations.

CBT counselling is most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but behavioural therapy can also be useful for other mental and physical health problems.

The advantage of CBT counselling is it takes a really short time. A client may attend 1 (at best 2) sessions every week each lasting an hour. With most emotional problems taking 6–8 months. During this time the client and therapist openly conversate among themselves to detect the problem and introduce the patient to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) technique he may want to apply for the patient
