Question: Who provides CBT?

Answer: Counsellors, psychologists and therapists can all provide CBT, either in one-on-one therapy sessions, small groups or online. People are trained to look logically at the evidence for their negative thoughts, and to adjust the way they view the world around them.

The therapist will provide 'homework' for between sessions. Generally, six to 10 sessions are required but the number will vary from person to person. More recently, a number of online programs (such as moodgym and This Way Up) have been developed to deliver CBT to people in their own homes.
