Book therapy for your child
We understand how difficult it can be raising a child. Here at Onebright, we help make sure your child has access to expert professional therapy.
Onebright remote therapy services for children and young people provide thorough clinical assessments and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused CBT (TFCBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help make sure every child or young adult in need has the best therapy possible.
Onebright can help your child with mental health issues including anxiety, depression, social anxiety, obsessive compulsion disorder, separation anxiety and self harm.
Booking an assessment
Therapy can be extremely beneficial, whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression or a number of other mental health and wellbeing challenges.
Our suitability assessment is to understand more about the problems being faced, psychologically, emotionally and behaviourally and how these may be impacting at home and at school.
All our therapy assessments and sessions are carried out online. Here are the steps and how they work.
Get in touch with Onebright
Simply complete one of our contact forms. Or, if you’d like to talk through why you feel your child needs support, you can call us on 020 8129 0558. One of our clinical liaison team will be able to answer any immediate questions you have.
We’ll then match you and your child with the right clinician for your child’s needs. We’ll set up a first appointment, at a time that works well for you and your child, and take your credit card details. This is to cover the cost of the first assessment session.
If you decide you want to continue with therapy for your child then you will be charged automatically, 48 hours before each therapy session begins.
Meet your therapist
At the end of your child’s initial assessment, the therapist will talk to you about a treatment plan for your child: how it will work, what to expect and how long it may take. They will identify the issues your child is struggling with and set some targets for getting to a positive end-point.
The treatment will be based on practice in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and/or Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma Focused CBT (TFCBT) or Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). Once you have a full picture of how the therapy sessions will work, you can decide if it’s for you and your child.
Agree an ideal plan
If your answer to therapy is ‘yes’, we’ll organise a treatment schedule that’s designed for your child’s needs, at times that suit you and your child. If you and your therapist agree that CBT isn’t the right approach for your child, we’ll take the time to discuss why, and suggest an alternative.
We offer expert support for your child's mental health
The emotional health and wellbeing of your child is as important as their physical health. Our aim is to address mental health concerns early, enabling your family to enjoy greater mental health and resilience.
We understand that every child and teenager in need of mental health support experiences their symptoms differently. So, this is why we conduct an initial mental health assessment: to build a comprehensive picture of the overall mental health of your child, including their strengths, challenges, and areas needing attention.
Your child may be experiencing...

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
What can CBT help children and young people with?
One of the key strengths of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for children and teenagers is its practical and hands-on approach. CBT teaches children and young people specific skills and strategies that they can then use in their daily lives to be able to better recognise and manage their difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This approach helps to build self-confidence and encourages a sense of control over their mental health.
CBT can also be tailored to meet the unique needs of each child or young person. It can be adapted to suit different age groups, developmental stages and neurodevelopmental conditions (such as autism and/or ADHD). This can make it an ideal treatment option for people of all ages.

This information helps the clinician gain a holistic view of your child to help determine what would be best from a therapeutic perspective. It is common that children do not know this information so the parent’s involvement at this stage is paramount.
Whilst you may not need to be present for all the appointment, it is important to remain close by to offer support during or afterwards.
We understand that it may be a big step to discuss problems and difficulties. Our aim is to ensure that both the child and parent feel comfortable, supported, and understood in the assessment.
We are committed to providing every person with the best mental healthcare, offering hope for a better and brighter future. Our services include assessments focused on common mental health conditions in children, and evidence-based therapies to treat conditions such as anxiety and depression.
