Evidence Based Treatment
Evidence Based Treatment
Evidence Based Treatment
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a focused, problem-solving psychotherapy that has been shown in hundreds of studies to be highly effective for the treatment of many mental health problems.
In CBT, the psychologist and the client work together as a team to identify and solve problems. It involves collaborative effort to examine, understand and modify unhelpful behaviour and thought patterns that have a negative influence on mood and overall well-being.
Distressing thoughts, feelings and unhelpful behaviours often impair one's life and pursuit of things they value and want to achieve. Clients learn strategies and skills that enable them to manage difficult thoughts and feelings while establishing healthier ways of behaving and living, and pursuing more what they want in their lives.
Mindfulness and Acceptance involves strategies to promote increased awareness and acceptance of distressing thoughts and feelings, while committing to desired behaviour change and life goals.
Relaxation Techniques and Training focus on teaching individuals to relax, reduce stress and lower blood pressure through methods of focused breathing, progressive muscle relaxation and body scans.
Biofeedback Therapy is a treatment technique in which anxious and stressed people are trained to improve their health by using signals from their own bodies to relax.
