Our online interactive eTherapy Service (for 11 – 18 year olds) is here to help with how thoughts have an impact on feelings, physical symptoms and behaviours.
It teaches techniques and strategies to help young people to cope better with negative thoughts, feelings, low mood andanxiety, as well as building on wellbeing and resiliency.
Our e-therapy programme can take between four to eight weeks to complete and the young person will be supported weekly by an e-therapy coordinator by either face to face and/or telephone support while they complete the course.
