Best Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Related Modalities | Manipal Hospitals

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, structured form of psychological treatment that helps individuals recognise and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Unlike insight-based approaches, CBT focuses on practical problem-solving and immediate symptom relief. It is one of the most researched and widely used therapies for conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Treatment duration and intensity are based on the patient’s specific concerns, motivation, and therapeutic progress. Our clinical psychologists at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road, Bangalore, are trained in both classical and contemporary forms of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Types of CBT-Based Therapies Offered at Our Bangalore Centre:

  • Cognitive Restructuring: A process that helps individuals identify distorted thinking patterns (e.g., catastrophising, black-and-white thinking) and replace them with more balanced, realistic perspectives.

  • Behavioural Activation: Often used in depression treatment, this method involves increasing engagement in rewarding and meaningful activities to counteract low mood and apathy.

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): A gold-standard intervention for OCD, ERP involves gradual and supported exposure to feared situations while preventing compulsive behaviours.

  • CBT for Panic and Anxiety: This intervention employs techniques such as interoceptive exposure, reduction of safety behaviours, and cognitive reappraisal to treat panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and generalised anxiety disorder effectively.

  • CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I): A structured programme that addresses the behavioural and cognitive causes of poor sleep, helping patients restore healthy sleep patterns without dependence on medication.

CBT is a collaborative approach; patients learn to become their own therapists through guided exercises, homework assignments, and practical strategies.

Patients are supported in managing common CBT-related challenges such as:

  • Resistance to behavioural change

  • Emotional flooding during exposure exercises

  • Difficulty identifying automatic thoughts

  • Low motivation or therapy fatigue

Our psychologists provide consistent encouragement, motivational enhancement, and strategy adaptation to ensure treatment continues at a comfortable and practical pace. CBT treatment in Bangalore is a cornerstone of our clinical psychology offering and has helped countless patients regain control, insight, and resilience in their mental health journey.
