Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Living Life to the Full Interactive

Research has found that computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (cCBT) - that is, therapy using your computer – can help improve symptoms of depression.

That’s why we’re really excited to be able to offer free computerised CBT for people in Scotland. You’ll do the course online with support over the phone from an experienced worker.

You will work through a six session course. Your support worker will be there to offer four to six contacts over six weeks to help you get the most out of it.

For more information, watch the video below.

Interested? Contact us to find out if you're eligible by email or telephone 0845 123 23 20 (11am - 1pm and 2 - 4pm Mon - Fri).

What people say about Living Life to the Full

“I found the course to be very helpful. I still use the CD, DVD and reread sections of the work book when I feel my negative thoughts are occupying my mind.”
Read Sam's story

"I'm more assertive, not using self harm as a means for coping so much, problem solving instead of letting stuff get to me"

"It has... helped me deal with difficult aspects of my current life, as well as recognise negative patterns that I've had for a long time and implement techniques to change them"

"It was very uncomfortable to attend this course initially but the practical knowledge I have gained has been fantastic. My understanding of how I feel and my ability to change my mood/thoughts is immense"

"the staff delivering [the course] were lively, motivated and never patronising"

What people are saying about Living Life to the Full Interactive

“I feel like I'm getting back to enjoying life again!”

“I have stopped seeing myself as a failure. It has given me a new way of thinking.”

“I've been dealing with anxiety all my life. I was really surprised at the change over the course.”

“I'd read a lot about depression but thought that's not me and ignored it. But I felt relief on starting this course and not feeling alone. I worried about it being a course, with exams. But it wasn't; it was simple; so helpful, so many ideas. Brilliant!”
