CBT Assessments For Children and Young People
Bright Path Therapy offers CBT-informed assessments for children and young people in Rugby, across Warwickshire and virtually within the UK. Assessments provide a structured way to understand a child’s emotional wellbeing, current challenges and support needs.
An assessment helps ensure that any recommended support is appropriate, targeted and tailored from the outset.

Please Note
A CBT assessment does not automatically guarantee ongoing 1:1 therapy. Assessments help determine whether CBT is an appropriate and beneficial approach for your child at this time. Where CBT is not the right fit, I will discuss this with you and, where possible, suggest alternative support or next steps.
