We offer our clients Online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with our team of Counsellors and Psychologists, who provide clients with an opportunity to talk confidently in a non-judgemental and supportive way from the comfort of their own homes through phone and video support.

Our approach to therapy focuses on how the brain and the rest of the nervous system influence a person’s cognition and behaviours.  We consider how neurological processes (our brain behaviour) can influence our decisions and actions – in other words; we help you get to the core of your problem. Our clinicians are dedicated to helping our clients be the best version of themselves and unlocking their natural ability and full potential.

Our clients are engaged to understand their current problems better; we provide useful strategies along the journey and help you achieve a higher quality of life. This service is provided online via our private Telehealth Platform to ensure a secure connection and maintain client confidentiality.

What is the difference between Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

Counselling is recommended for adjusting to challenging life circumstances or when the problem is unknown.  Many people use CBT when they know what the problem is, and the problem in their life is caused by something that cannot be changed (such as a job loss or the loss of a loved one) or when they don’t know how they want something to change (such as relationship issues).

Counselling

Anyone with a personal concern can access Counselling support who can access a trained, objective professional with whom you can build a therapeutic and trusting relationship.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of many types of Therapeutic Counselling used to treat and manage problematic thoughts and behaviours.

Undertaken from the perspective that underlying thoughts and attitudes are the primary influences on behaviour, CBT attempts to challenge these feelings and change how they might influence our actions and habits. Unlike many other therapies, CBT does not rely on medications but examines our thoughts and how they may have developed through prior experiences.

Typically a short-term treatment, CBT can help tremendously where a specific issue causes grief and blocks the ability to perform tasks or live a healthy day-to-day life. These may include:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by helping the client to identify which thoughts and feelings are causing distress and developing plans to challenge these issues actively. The aim is to teach the client that while the environment cannot change for you, you can change your view of the environment. With this new perspective, the client shall have the tools and methods to live a healthy, positive lifestyle.
