Beating the blues

Beating the Blues is a computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) programme that has been proven to help people suffering with mild and moderate anxiety and depression to get better and stay better. Computerised CBT is simply CBT delivered by an interactive computer programme. The Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety funded the purchase of licences so that GP practices throughout Northern Ireland could offer Beating the Blues to their patients. EBCCC is currently one of the non-GP organisations providing Beating the Blues under licence.

BACP

British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
BACP’s primary purpose is to support counsellors and help them better serve their clients. The Association was formed nearly 40 years ago by a group of counsellors who were passionate about the value of counselling and its potential to improve the lives of individuals and communities.
The Association acts in the interest of the public as a professional, relevant, credible and communicative organisation for the counselling professions, bound by a common purpose, underpinned by clear philosophy and transparent values. The Association advocates the role and relevance of the practice of the counselling professions in improving psychological wellbeing and mental health, and promoting social justice, in our contemporary and diverse communities.
