How psychological support works: the CBT example
NHS describes CBT as talking therapy addressing thoughts and behaviours.
Cognitive behavioural therapy
NHS presents CBT as talking therapy addressing thoughts and behaviours. Needs are assessed first; typically 5–15 sessions and between-session practice are described. In-person, online or telephone formats may be available. This explains psychotherapy, which is distinct from Reiki.
Editorial perspective
The possibility of developing coping skills is encouraging. Understanding services by their proper names supports informed choice. This feature describes CBT; CBT and Reiki are different interventions.
