Absolutely, numerous studies indicate that online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can be just as effective as its face-to-face CBT sessions.

Online CBT uses the same strategies and process for change, which take place in the mind, not a physical room. In fact, the success we’ve seen with our own clients proves that online CBT really works.

Therefore, whether you’re sitting in the comfort of your own home, your office, or in your car, you will foresee changes will happen. Our online CBT is done through zoom, video calls. This offers greater flexibility and convenience.

Typically, solely Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves around 7 to 12 sessions, each usually lasting about an hour. However, when CBT is combined with hypnotherapy, the process can be sped up to just 3-7 sessions. This is because we are directly engaging with the subconscious mind, which is a powerful catalyst for change, housing our deep-seated beliefs and automatic responses. By reshaping these subconscious aspects, we can create more profound and rapid changes.

The success of CBT depends on various factors including the person’s commitment to the therapy process, the severity of the issues being addressed, the person’s openness to the process, the relationship between the therapist and the client, etc. Some individuals may respond better to different therapeutic approaches.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can lead to actual changes in the brain’s structure and function, a process known as neuroplasticity. Here’s a simplified overview of how it works:

• Reframing Thoughts: CBT helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts. As you learn to think differently, you’re essentially rewiring your brain to change its responses to these thoughts. This process alters the neural pathways associated with your thought processes.

• Strengthening New Pathways: As you repeatedly practice these new patterns of thinking and behavior, you strengthen the neural pathways associated with them. Over time, these pathways become the brain’s “default” routes.

• Reducing Anxiety and Stress: CBT techniques can help reduce stress and anxiety, which can positively impact your brain’s physical structure. Chronic stress can damage areas of the brain associated with memory and cognitive function, so reducing stress can lead to improvements in these areas.

• Increasing Grey Matter: Some research has shown that CBT can increase the volume of certain areas of the brain, particularly those associated with high-level functions like self-referential judgment and emotion regulation.
