In the past I have worked within services which have been able to provide computerised Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (cCBT). I supported individuals who had completed the eight sessions of the ‘Beating the Blues‘ course for anxiety and depression. It’s my understanding, based on the recommendations of NICE guidelines, that this method of delivering Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been found to be both efficient and effective.
Beating the Blues is an online, computerised programme for the treatment of depression and anxiety which uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Whilst many areas do not have the infrastructure to deliver computerised psychological interventions of this sort, such treatments or training packages can now potentially be accessed by individuals from home.
