Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is the most successful form of ‘talking therapy’. In recent years health insurance companies, the NHS and government advisory bodies have consistently recommended cognitive behaviour therapy as the treatment of choice for most mental health and well-being problems.

The CBT-Partnership is the leading provider of cognitive behaviour therapy in Hertfordshire, based in Hertford. The work of the CBT-Partnership is built on the more then 25 years experience of its founders: Lynne and Henck van Bilsen. They have developed a highly successful method in setting up and running (in a profitable manner) cognitive behaviour therapy services. The CBT-Partnership offers a range of cognitive behaviour therapy services: individual CBT, group CBT, mindfulness training, CBT for children and adolescents and CBT for couples and families. The two founders/directors of the Partnership collaborate with a group of associates in delivering this high quality service.

Referrals come in from general practitioners, yellow pages, consultant psychiatrists, health insurance companies, solicitors firms, CBT-Partnership website and through other website links. All referrals are processed via a central phone line. All clinicians of the CBT-Partnership follow a highly structured process of assessment and treatment planning. The work of all clinicians is supported by a rigorous supervision and in-service training programme.

The CBT-Partnership has now reached a stage in it’s development that it is ready set up a system of franchisees throughout the United Kingdom. We really would like to start collaborating with highly motivated clinicians in setting up this system. Franchisees would ideally be BABCP accredited therapists, clinical psychologists (with CBT-competencies) or motivated mental health professionals willing to build a team that includes BABCP accredited therapists.
