Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Our CCBT service offers a supported self-help treatment option for those living with mild to moderate depression. The computer program we use is called Beating the Blues.
The Beating the Blues Programme
Beating the Blues is a clinically proven, drug-free treatment which integrates best practice in psychological therapies with advanced multimedia software.
Beating the Blues makes use of interactive modules, animations, voice-overs and filmed case studies of fictional patients who model the symptoms of anxiety and depression and help demonstrate the treatment by cognitive behavioural therapy.
