Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

At Manor Clinic, we offer CBT as a structured and evidence-based psychological treatment designed to help individuals manage a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, and more.

What is CBT?

CBT is a collaborative and goal-oriented approach where individuals work with a trained therapist to explore the interconnection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. By recognizing unhelpful thinking styles and behavioral patterns, individuals learn to challenge and modify these, leading to improved emotional regulation and healthier coping strategies.

Benefits of CBT:

  • Reduces Symptoms: Helps alleviate anxiety and depression.
  • Enhances Coping Skills: Provides practical strategies to manage stress.
  • Increases Self-Awareness: Encourages understanding of thought processes.
  • Promotes Long-Lasting Change: Equips individuals with tools for ongoing improvement.

Age Range for CBT:

CBT is suitable for individuals aged 6 and older and can be adapted to meet the needs of children, adolescents, and adults.

Referral Process:

Individuals can request CBT directly. A formal referral is not required.

Treatment Duration:

CBT is typically delivered in 6 to 20 sessions, lasting about 50 minutes each, depending on individual needs and treatment goals. Each session includes both therapeutic discussion and practical exercises.
