SilverCloud provide guided digital programmes (courses) as part of our mental health supports and services offering.
These courses are based on a talk therapy called cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
Sometimes they are known as online CBT or guided digital CBT. Guided CBT is when you work through a CBT-based workbook or course with a trained supporter.
