Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a structured, practical therapy. You and your therapist look at how your thoughts, feelings, body sensations and actions affect each other, and try out small changes between sessions. It is widely used for anxiety, low mood, panic, OCD and sleep problems.
CBT works well online because much of it is conversation, shared worksheets and planning. Your therapist can share exercises on screen and you can practise them in the place where the difficulty actually happens — at home.
Who online therapy can help
Online therapy is especially useful if getting to an appointment is hard: if you live rurally, have a health condition or mobility needs, find it difficult to leave home because of anxiety, or work shifts or care for someone. All you need is a private space and a phone, tablet or computer with a camera.
