At Merit Health Clinic, we use cognitive behavioural therapy as part of our holistic approach to mental health. Learn more about the benefits of CBT in Australia today!

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT is a talk-based therapy designed to improve your mental health by helping you better understand yourself so that you may begin to change certain cycles of behaviour.

Research has shown this can be a highly effective approach, offering a wide range of additional benefits.

What can CBT help with?

CBT is a common tool used to help people deal with mental health challenges. Your healthcare provider might decide to use CBT for anxiety, depression, PTSD and many other conditions.

It is especially effective for helping you build the coping mechanisms you need to develop a healthier, happier life.

Is CBT effective?

CBT is a researched-backed treatment that is as effective, or more effective, than other talk-based strategies and many medications prescribed for patients.

Because it follows a structured treatment plan with logical steps, you may experience results more quickly than with other methods. Whether you are using CBT for depression, an eating disorder, or another challenge, it is a tried and tested method with positive results.
