Behavioural Therapy

How it works:
Behavioural therapy focuses on changing unhelpful behaviours through learning and practice. It’s based on the idea that behaviours are learned, and therefore they can be “unlearned” or replaced with healthier patterns. The focus is on the present and building practical skills rather than exploring the past.

In practice:

You and your therapist identify specific behaviours you’d like to change.

Techniques such as exposure, relaxation training, or habit reversal may be used.

Progress is measured by small, achievable steps that reinforce positive change.

Why it helps:

Provides clear, practical strategies for dealing with challenges.

Helps break cycles of avoidance, fear, or unhealthy habits.

Builds confidence by reinforcing success and progress over time.

Who it’s for:

People struggling with phobias, compulsions, anxiety, or unhealthy habits.

Those who prefer a structured, skills-based approach.

Anyone looking for practical tools to make real-life changes.
