Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for children and adolescents is an evidence-based approach that helps young people understand the powerful connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. By learning to spot unhelpful thoughts, kids and teens develop tools to handle challenges, build confidence, and regulate their emotions that they will carry into adulthood.
How CBT Helps
Behavioural & Social Challenges: Teaches emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and communication skills.
Anxiety & Worry: Develops effective coping and problem-solving strategies and uses exposure and prevention therapy to decrease anxiety and obsessive behaviours.
Mood & Self-Esteem: Helps reframe negative self-talk into practical positive thinking to build resilience.
