Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy with a wide evidence base proving it’s efficacy for a variety of mental health problems across a variety of people including children, adults and older adults.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) provides independent, evidence-based guidance for the NHS on the most effective, proven treatments. CBT is recommended in NICE guidelines for many different problems, including:
