The CBT therapist role is highly valued and seen as an integral part of what we do. Our therapists provide disorder specific assessments, formulation and evidence-based CBT protocols for people with anxiety disorders and/or depression.

- Together we will evolve and innovate services to help us to face the future needs of people with anxiety disorders and depression.
