Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)


Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a form of talking therapy that helps you recognise unhelpful thoughts and actions so you can put in place more helpful ways of dealing with them.

Doing CBT exercises yourself can be very helpful to manage low mood, anxiety, anger and other difficult emotions.
