Why Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is so effective

Methods of cognitive behavioural therapy are widespread and effective for various problems, such as depressiveness or anxiety – also in the online setting. The mechanism in a nutshell: Unhelpful thought patterns are replaced by healthy thoughts. This sounds simple, but it requires openness and, above all, active cooperation on the part of the person seeking counselling. Your psychologist will support you in this process!

Responsible management of mental health

Our greatest concern is that every person seeking help receives the best support. Unfortunately, Instahelp cannot provide sufficient support in acute crisis situations where immediate help is needed. Please contact one of these emergency numbers in crisis situations. If your wellbeing becomes unstable during the course of your Instahelp counselling, your psychologist will discuss the best treatment options with you.

My psychologist helped me out of a pretty low point. She listens, asks questions and notices exactly where the problem lies. I am incredibly grateful that I have her by my side to support me.
