A Practical Approach to Shifting Thoughts and Feelings

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used and researched forms of therapy. It helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours—and how changing unhelpful patterns can improve the way you feel and respond to life’s challenges.

CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and focused on equipping you with tools you can use long after therapy ends.

Imagine your mind as a pair of glasses. If the lenses are scratched or tinted, everything you see is distorted. CBT helps you notice those scratches (negative thoughts) and gently clean the lenses—so you can see situations more clearly and respond in ways that feel better aligned with your goals.

CBT sessions usually involve talking through real-life situations, noticing the thought-feeling-behaviour patterns, and practicing tools that you can apply outside of therapy.

At VB Psychotherapy, CBT is offered in a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space. While CBT can be structured, we adapt it to your pace and needs. Sessions can also integrate other approaches—like ACT, EMDR, mindfulness, or person-centered therapy—so you receive a holistic and personalized experience.

This approach is helpful for:

Anxiety & Panic Attacks: Calm your nervous system and challenge anxious thinking.

Depression & Low Mood: Shift negative self-talk and regain motivation.

Stress & Burnout: Learn strategies to manage pressure and set healthier boundaries.

Self-Esteem & Confidence: Reframe self-critical thoughts and build self-worth.

Overthinking & Perfectionism: Quiet mental spirals and find balance.

Phobias & Fears: Gently face and reduce avoidance behaviours.
