More details from petition creator
The proposal by Lord Layard to increase by 10,000 the number of cbt therapists in the NHS ignores the benefits to people of other forms of therapy. Relationship based therapy, such as the Person Centred Approach, and others, have a proven record of helping to alleviate distress and to change lives.
