Self-help therapies

Self-help therapies are psychological therapies that you can do in your own time to help with problems like stress, anxiety and depression.

They can be a useful way to try out a therapy like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to see if it’s for you.

They can also be convenient if:

you’re short of time
you have family or work commitments
you cannot get out easily
you want a therapy that’s completely anonymous

If you do not feel better after trying a self-help therapy, there are other therapies you can try.

A GP or local psychological therapies service can tell you more.
