Talking therapies, also known as psychological therapy is the name given to the different models of therapy that can help you feel better without the need for medication.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT for short is perhaps the most well known of psychological therapies. In my experience it is the most requested model of therapy when people attend for treatment. However, like all models, it is not suitable for all mental health conditions.
CBT as a model works well online as it is a highly structured and directive model of therapy.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; A.C.T. At the most basic level, ACT is learning to accept what you cannot control and commit to actions that can improve your life.
