The Treatment Process

A usual course of treatment for a specific disorder, such as anxiety disorders, lasts between 8 and 16 sessions, which are typically 50 minutes in length. Frequency of sessions: weekly or every two weeks.  Long-term treatment also provided when required.

The ultimate goal is to teach clients skills and techniques that will help them:

• Create a greater sense of control over emotions in challenging situations
• Identify and address cyclical patterns of dysfunctional behaviour
• Generate a sense of achievement, competence and self control
• Increase self-esteem and self-respect
• Address future difficulties and limit the potential for relapse

At CBT psychology for Personal Development, a CBT therapist will teach you copying techniques and strategies in a safe and comfortable setting.
