CBT therapists specialise in providing cognitive behavioural therapy to children and young people who are experiencing mental health difficulties.

CBT is a talking therapy that can help children and young people to manage problems by changing the way they think and behave. It’s most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems.

Qualifications

CBT therapists will usually come from a ‘core profession’ and will have undertaken academic and clinical qualifications as appropriate for that profession. They will also then undertake further specialist training in CBT.

Experience

CBT therapists will have experience in using CBT techniques to support children and young people as part of their professional career.

Other roles that might be of interest: Non-medical prescribers might also be interested in other CAMHS practitioner roles or could move into a leadership role in CAMHS.
