Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a collaborative and solution-focused therapeutic approach.
It helps individuals confront unhelpful ways of thinking and acting, with the aim of making their lives happier and more fulfilling through the development of beneficial thinking patterns and behaviours.
CBT is a "brief therapy", usually requiring five-20 sessions, depending on the client's needs.
The terms "integrative psychotherapy" and "integrative counselling" describe any multi-modal approach combining therapies.

Sessions usually last for one hour.
There is no obligation to proceed after that first session.
At the outset of treatment it may be difficult to know exactly how many therapy sessions will be needed.
A single problem that you have been experiencing for less than 18 months will generally be resolved in 5-10 sessions.
However, problems that have been troubling you for a long time, or that are multi-faceted, are likely to need 10-20 sessions for you to feel you have fully resolved them.
Individuals vary in the amount of distress and disturbance that they experience and, similarly, they vary in how long they take to get better.

Working under supervision refers to the process whereby counsellors or psychotherapists meet with another professional, normally with training in supervision skills, to review their casework with clients, their professional development, and, possibly, their personal development.
In addition to individual supervision, some therapists use group supervision, in which several therapists gather together to discuss each other's work.
Most professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy require their members to undertake supervision of their clinical practice and most therapists view it as an ethical imperative.

There are two distinct ways that therapists incorporate different therapies into their work: by integrating the elements of the therapies into a single, combined approach to theory and practice, or by eclectically drawing on several approaches in their work with individual clients.
Eclectic practitioners are not bound by the theories or methodology of a particular psychological approach.
