Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is the preferred treatment of the NHS. Accepted widely by the medical professional and recommended by the N.I.C.E. guidelines, CBT Cognitive Behaviour Therapy provides new ways of thinking and feeling within a short period of time; this therapy usually takes between 7 - 9 sessions. This is opposed to, often frequently long therapies. Some therapies can go on for many months and even years which, paradoxically holds that person back from going forward. The longer term therapy continues, constantly reminds the client, that their problem is something drastic, maybe not yet identified. The client becomes more reliant on the therapist, with potentially little happening in respect to coping or feeling better.
