Individual therapy is a form of therapy in which the client is treated on a one-on-one basis with a therapist. Individual therapy is useful for many types of situations that cause stress, anger, grief or conflict. Individual therapy is an effective treatment for many types of mental, emotional and behavioural health issues. It can also help people who are facing difficult life situations or those who would like to develop healthier personal habits.
Individual therapy could be short-term (focusing on immediate issues) or long-term (delving into more complex problems). The number of sessions and the frequency of appointments depend on the individual’s situation and the recommendations of the therapist. The exact way in which this therapy is implemented tends to vary depending on the situation, the practice of the therapist and the needs of the individual.

CBT works to help us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns so we can feel better. In addition to depression or anxiety CBT can cover areas such as:
