Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

These treatments are based on the idea that unproductive thinking and behaviour is the root
cause of many mental health problems. Your therapist would help you learn new skills to
overcome this.

View all CBT approaches
CBT
CBT is a talking therapy that can help you cope by making you more aware of the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It focuses on challenging unhelpful beliefs, attitudes and behaviours.
Self-guided online therapy
Our online CBT is flexible, allowing you to work through modules privately at your own pace but with the support of a dedicated clinician, if needed.
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
MBCT combines CBT with mindfulness techniques so you can become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

Other evidence-based therapy

Psychotherapy involves talking about an emotional difficulty with a trained therapist. We offer different types of psychotherapy that are based on scientific evidence and help people feel better.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR helps your brain to process trauma when you recall aspects of it, usually as a therapist asks you to follow their finger from side to side with your eyes. It can help you change the way you think about a traumatic experience.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
IPT is a type of psychotherapy that is based on the principle that relationships and life events can have an impact on mood and that the reverse is also true.
Cognitive Analytical Therapy (CAT)
CAT encourages you to use your own resources and develop skills to change destructive patterns of behaviour and negative ways of thinking and acting.
