Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in Australia

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, often referred to as CBT, is an integrative form of therapy that draws from both cognitive therapy (the way we think) and behavioural therapy (the way we act). The underlying premise of CBT is that people are not distressed by the events they experience, but rather their thinking and beliefs about those events. CBT assumes that our thoughts significantly impact our emotional state and general mood, and therefore general quality of life.


As a psychological therapy, CBT aims to assist in identifying thought patterns that may lead to a distressing emotional state, and to develop strategies that can be used to manage their impact. CBT values a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship and is interactive in that you and your psychologist work together to:
  • identify your current difficulties and your goals for therapy,
  • develop a treatment plan,
  • identify strategies for you to practice and develop in-between sessions, and
  • review therapy progress toward your identified goals.
While CBT may not be suitable for everyone, evidence for the effectiveness of CBT as a treatment is considerable, and for some psychological difficulties is the treatment of choice. Research evidence (see Karyotaki et al., 2017) suggests that CBT as an online psychology therapy is effective and may assist in treating distressing symptoms of depression and anxiety and associated behavioural difficulties. Accessing CBT via online psychology services may be particularly useful for people located in rural and remote areas, or for people with mobility or time constraints.
