Cbt (cognitive behavioural therapy) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. There is a strong evidence base to support its effectiveness in helping treat common mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and phobias and is one of the most commonly used talking therapies in the nhs. It does not suit everyone though, particularly because it is often ‘solution’ focused and so some people may benefit from anxiety counselling or psychotherapy.
If you think you might benefit from therapy, the best place to start is with your gp. Your gp or another healthcare professional may be able to refer you to a qualified therapist for free treatment on the nhs. However, waiting lists for nhs treatment are often long. You can choose to pay for private treatment - if you do, it's important to make sure your therapist is registered with a recognised professional organisation. You should also be aware of the costs. Typically, a 50-minute one-to-one session can range from £40 to £100. Read more about accessing counselling and psychotherapy.
