At any one time, one in six adults experiences a mental health problem - more than will suffer from cancer or heart disease - and many of these suffer from more common problems such as anxiety or depression. Clinical evidence shows that better access to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help cure depression and reduce time off work due to ill health. Patients also prefer talking therapy, just one example of CBT, rather than being dependent on medication alone.The blight of such illness is an issue the British Government is committed to tackling. Central to their efforts is the ability for people who are ill to be able to quickly get the right kind of therapy, instead of just being prescribed medication. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has more than just a purely mental health benefit. Helping people to cope better with anxiety and depression can also have a positive effect on physical health, therefore leading to fewer hospital admissions and less dependency on medication and local GP services for those who also have a long term condition and helping them to get back to work where relevant, or just simply by enjoying life.     Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can help with many issues, such as minor to major mental health problems including, anxiety states, panic disorder, OCD, depression (both uni-polar & bi-polar), insomnia, eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, IBS, stress, reducing weight, anger management, relationship concerns (including jealousy), mood swings, excessive drinking etc.During the past two years therefore, CBT has become the first choice of therapeutic modality, encouraged and recommended by GP’s and the psycho-medical fraternity.  It is now the therapy of choice for patients / clients consulting with both medical and psychiatric physicians, and more noticeably, General Practitioners, who will encourage their patients to seek help from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.
