Psychological counselling is powerful, efficient, and cost-effective

A review of current research shows that a range of evidence based psychological treatments:

• are effective at treating the many common mental health conditions
• are highly effective in treating most anxiety and depression disorders
• are the treatment of choice for most childhood problems
• can be more effective than medication alone over the long term, because people receiving medication only are more likely to relapse after they stop taking it.
• are viable treatments, in terms of both their effectiveness and costs.
