We talk and get to understand what brought you here; you don't need to arrive with explanations, definitions or answers. From there, you and I build the healthy thinking and behaviours to take you from the problem you came with to where you want to be.

Rational Emotive Cognitive & Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is one of the most established cognitive behavioural therapies; it is active, directive, and goal-oriented. It is aligned with the Greek Stoicists who believed that "Men are disturbed not by events themselves, but by the views which they take of them".

RECBT proposes that our thinking in the face of life's adversities largely shapes our emotional and behavioural responses. In other words, think healthily, and you will be more likely to feel and behave in healthy ways. Think unhealthily, and you will be more likely to feel and behave in unhealthy ways.

With an emphasis on the present, RECBT teaches us to identify unhealthy thinking and develop alternatives to achieve our emotional and behavioural goals.
