Therapy approach
Cognitive therapy focuses on the way interpretations and beliefs can influence mood and behaviour. It helps people identify automatic thoughts, consider evidence and develop more balanced perspectives without dismissing genuine difficulties. The work is usually practical and collaborative, supporting changes in both understanding and day-to-day responses.
