“CBT is a collaborative practical problem-oriented approach to emotional problems where by the client and therapist work together toward understanding difficulties in terms of relationship between thoughts, feelings, body sensations and behaviour .

CBT is based on the concept that what we think , how we feel, how we act and what we experience in our bodies all interact together. The strength of CBT is that the client can continue to practice and develop their skills even after sessions have finished, making it less likely that symptoms or problems will return.”
