Therapeutic approach

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy(REBT)

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy(REBT) explores how rigid, extreme or demanding beliefs can intensify emotional distress and unhelpful behaviour.

How it works

The work focuses on identifying beliefs, examining whether they are logical, realistic and helpful, and developing more flexible and effective alternatives.

What it may involve

  • identifying rigid demands
  • disputing unhelpful beliefs
  • developing flexible preferences
  • practising new emotional and behavioural responses

It may be considered for

  • anxiety and frustration
  • shame and self-criticism
  • anger and interpersonal conflict
  • perfectionism and low frustration tolerance

How it may be used at Kaeva

REBT may be integrated with CBT, behavioural practice, mindfulness or psychosocial work so that changes in beliefs are connected with everyday action.

Finding the right fit matters

No single approach is right for every person or concern. Your counsellor will consider safety, readiness, preferences, goals and whether the approach fits their training and scope.
