What does ICBT mean in THERAPY

During an online session, the therapist will assess your current situation and establish goals for treatment. They will then guide you through techniques and activities aimed at helping you identify and challenge any behaviour or thoughts that may be stopping you from achieving these goals. Through regular sessions, ICBT helps you develop skills to manage your mental health more effectively.

Studies have shown that ICBT can be as effective as conventional face-to-face CBT for treating mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. In addition, many studies also suggest that ICBT can often lead to better outcomes than face-to-face treatment, due to the convenience of being able to access sessions whenever and wherever it is convenient for the client.

Yes, anyone who feels they would benefit from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can access ICBT services. However, it's important to remember that not everyone responds in the same way so it's best if you consult with a mental health professional first in order to determine whether ICBT is right for you.

The most important thing when selecting a therapist is finding one who suits your needs, so take some time researching different professionals until you find one whose approach resonates with you the most. Make sure they are licensed and qualified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy before making a decision.

During your first session, your therapist will likely ask about your current symptoms/concerns in order to develop an understanding of how best to help you reach your desired goals. Additionally, they may discuss with you what type of programme might be best suited for achieving those goals.
