Abstract
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that addresses unhelpful cognitions and behaviours that result in distress. It has been shown to be effective in the management of anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, chronic pain syndromes and personality disorders. Although there is a clear need for CBT services, access to them remains limited. GPs cannot be expected to fill this gap, but specific CBT techniques can help in the management of common conditions. In this paper, we will discuss several CBT techniques that a clinician can apply in 10-minute consultations with a case study to espouse how the techniques can be implemented in clinical practice.
