Hi All
Iv decided its about time to try CBT and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a therapist or tell me how to find one in my local area? (im from Stretford, Manchester) All the ones I have found by looking on the net would be a bit far for me to travel considering i can barely leave the house. I am on the NHS waiting list and have been for 7 months now so iv decided enough is enough.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)

Hi Suzy,

you could look in the yellow pages or thomson local.
But most of these are private.
I waited for CBT for 18month,but then moved to another county so I am back on the list again.

Good luck.

You must get someone qualified ...

Hi Suzy
I found one on the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies website (www.babcp.org.uk). They have a search faciliity. The therapists are private though, mine charged £50 and was from Blackburn.
