Finding a
cognitive behaviour therapist
Cognitive
behaviour therapy is the only psychological treatment
that is shown scientifically to be of benefit in
OCD and BDD. You can find a list of accredited*
cognitive behaviour therapists by going to the website
of the British
Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists,
Then On the
menu, click on ‘Find a Therapist’. Then
select on ‘Location’, ‘Specialty’
and ‘NHS or Private’.
Alternatively,
for a copy of the directory, send a cheque for £3,
made payable to BABCP, with details of your name
and address, to: BABCP, Globe Centre, PO
Box 9, Accrington BB5 2GD. Or you can order
a directory by telephoning +44 (0) 1254 875277,
giving your details, and paying by credit/debit
card.
Directories
are printed as requested so are completely up to
date. Please note that, as the BABCP itself states,
other practitioners offering CBT may be registered
by other reputable bodies. However, searching for
a therapist through the BABCP is one way of getting
details of CBT therapists with training in OCD.
* Accreditation
means the therapist has demonstrated basic training
in CBT.
