Seeking CBT Therapy in Adelaide?
At Adelaide Clinical Psychology, we offer evidence-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to support individuals of all ages through life’s challenges. Our experienced psychologists help you build practical skills, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and work toward lasting psychological resilience.
CBT is widely recognised as one of the most effective psychological treatments for a range of difficulties. Whether it's managing anxiety, depression, or life dilemmas and problems, CBT offers practical strategies that are rooted in evidence-based practices.
How CBT Can Help
​
CBT is one of the most researched psychological therapies and has been widely practised for over 30 years. It’s built on the idea that our thoughts influence our feelings and behaviours, and by learning to challenge unhelpful thoughts, we can create real, lasting change.
One of CBT’s strengths is its structured, goal-oriented approach, which helps break down overwhelming problems into smaller, manageable parts. CBT can support people experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns, such as:
-
Anxiety disorders (including social anxiety, OCD, or PTSD)
-
Phobias and unhelpful fears
-
Insomnia and sleeping difficulties
-
Addictive behaviours like gambling or substance misuse
-
Relationship stress, family challenges, and emotional struggles in children and teens
Who Can Benefit from CBT Therapy?
CBT is designed to meet the unique needs of various individuals and age groups. Our warm and understanding psychologists work closely with each individual to build solutions that address their concerns.
​
For Children
It's not always easy for children to describe how they feel. They may act out, withdraw, or struggle with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, difficulty adapting to change, or regulating emotions. Through CBT, children learn to understand and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, all in a supportive and collaborative environment.

For Adolescents
For adolescents facing stress, anxiety, or social pressures, CBT provides a safe and effective way to address their mental health concerns.
