Cognitive-behavioural therapy is an evidence-based, scientifically driven approach toward the treatment of emotional and behavioural problems. It is highly practical and action-orientated and has been shown to be highly effective in treating a variety of problems, including:

• Depression
  
• Anxiety disorders (panic, phobias, OCD, PTSD, GAD)
  
• Bulimia and obesity
  
• Dysfunctional anger and aggression
  
• Shame, shyness, and assertiveness problems
  
• Relationship problems
  
• Jealousy
  
• Substance abuse
  
• Impulse control
  
• Behavioural problems and ADHD
  

Despite the overwhelming scientific evidence for its effectiveness as a dominant therapeutic approach, there still often seems to be an insufficient level of appreciation for cognitive-behaviour therapy within both the professional and general community of South Africa.
