Frequently asked questions

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy that helps individuals identify and change unhealthy thinking and behavior patterns. It focuses on current problems and equips people with practical skills to manage challenges.

Does it mean I'm weak or have failed if I want or need coaching?

Seeking coaching is a sign of strength, not weakness. Just like athletes benefit from coaches, personal coaching helps you overcome challenges and thrive.

Do I have to talk about my past?

You have the freedom to choose what you share. In CBT, we primarily focus on current attitudes and beliefs related to present or recurring events. However, if revisiting past experiences would be beneficial, we can explore that too.

How long do sessions go for?

Regular sessions usually last up to 50 minutes. I also offer double sessions which can help super-charge the efficiency of coaching.
