Well done to you for looking into CBT. Therapy is a very good tool to have in our kit bag. I am sure you will find it beneficial. I am in Australia so cannot help with a local referral. You doctor can point in the right direction . Good luck 🦘

If you live in Scotland your Doctor will be able to arrange a course for you and possibly other pathways that will be of use to you

Get yourself a telephone appointment, hopefully you will see your Doctor and move on accordingly. Make a list of your concerns, this will help you explain what your concerns are

I googled CBT and there’s loads of professionals out there. It’s all on zoom now due to Covid. Hope you get sorted with it. Let me know how you get on.

Also on mind website there is different booklets free to download and self help leaflets here web.ntw.nhs.uk/selfhelp/

You would have to ask your GP and they would make a referral. Depending on where in Scotland you are, the waiting list could be months long, and you might have to be assessed by a psychiatrist first.

Sometimes you can access it through your workplace (or college/university if you're a student). If this was an option, it would be quicker. nhs.scot has some online self help CBT too (I think).
