A standard course of CBT is usually 12-18 weeks. If you would like to know more general information about CBT, I recommend CBT for Dummies - its really very good! Although a manual cannot take the place of individual treatment, sometimes it is really helpful to understand the basic principles. Sessions are usually weekly, unless you are in a critical condition. All sessions take place in Preston Park area of central Brighton. When looking for CBT treatment, make sure that you always seek a therapist who is Accredited with the BABCP (British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies). There are many people advertising CBT whose training is minimal, and it is not their core profession. You can check if a therapist is accredited by checking if they are listed on babcp.com
BABCP accredited therapists adhere to a high code of professional standards that are recognised by the NHS.
