What is private CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based talking therapy that helps you change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Private CBT gives you fast access, a choice of therapist, and a course of sessions tailored to you — rather than the fixed number offered by NHS services.
