CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

CBT is:

Short-term (usually 6-20 sessions)
Practical and goal-orientated
Structured
Teaches strategies and skills to manage distorted thinking.

DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)

Our DBT therapist helps people to come face-to-face with the reality of their life. With validation comes acceptance and most importantly, the need to change.

Developed mainly to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), DBT is also used to treat other mental health issues such as:

Depression and Anxiety
Self-harm
Suicidal behaviour
Eating Disorders—Bulimia and Binge Eating
Substance Use Disorder

DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)

ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis)

At its core, ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) is the science of learning and behaviour. It offers a flexible framework on the core principle of operant conditioning.

To enumerate,

Positive Reinforcement: Increase positive behaviour using positive reinforcements (rewards).
Antecedent, Behaviour, Consequence (ABCs): Watch out for what happened before and during the behaviour and what the consequence was.
Generalisation: Ensuring that the skills learned are used in social settings too.

Reducing impulsivity
Preventing harmful behaviours
Setting Boundaries

Controlling your emotions

Which Behavioural Therapy works best for Autism and Learning Disability?

In autism, ABA improves independence and quality of life. Also, an early intervention with ABA therapy has shown to improve academic performance as well as speech abilities in children with learning disabilities.

What is the main difference between CBT and DBT?

Both CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) focus on changing unhelpful and negative thinking patterns to change behaviour.

However, DBT, which is a specialised form of CBT, focuses more on “dialectics”—striking a balance between accepting yourself as you are and realising the need for a change.

How do I know which therapy is right for me?

This depends on your issues. Self-diagnosis and treatment don’t yield positive results. Rather, a certified psychologist shall recommend one or a combination of therapies to reach your specific goals:

CBT is widely used for eating disorders, substance abuse, anxiety or phobias.
DBT is recommended for borderline personality disorder, self-harm, and suicidal behaviour.
BA works greatly for depression.
ABA is suitable for autism and learning disabilities.

Can these therapies be combined?

Yes. Today modern psychology works on integrating therapies to address multiple issues simultaneously.

How long does it take to see results from behavioural therapy?

While every individual is different, usually a minimum of 8-12 sessions are required to see actual results, provided that the patient practises the skills as a habit outside of the clinic too.
