What is CBT?
CBT is one of a number of talking therapies based on the theory that thoughts, feelings, our behaviour and what going through our body are all connected. Through CBT we better understand these and we can alter the others to improve our wellbeing.
CBT has a good evidence base for a wide range of mental health problems in adults, older adults, young people and children.
The research has been reviewed by NICE (nation institute for health and clinical excellence) who provide independent, evidence based guidance.
