about therapy comics

Many of the interventions used to treat mental health problems can be illustrated. This allows a universal resource to be available for therapists to use with anyone who struggles with typical text-based materials. 

​

Therapy Comics is developing high-quality, materials for evidence-based interventions that are in common use by therapists.

​

The materials on this site have been designed for Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners, High Intensity Therapists and CBT therapists working in IAPT services in England.

about me

I have worked as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner in the NHS since 2012.

 

A few years ago I carried out a triage assessment with someone with chronic insomnia and Generalised Anxiety Disorder.

 

I was surprised to hear that he had previously had  unsuccessful CBT. He said:

​

"The CBT was all "read this... write that...." and I couldn't do it. I've got really bad dyslexia"

​

And this got me thinking.

​

We don't need all these words.

​

​

Bad design is committing the same moral sin as a lack of access. In fact, really, at the end of the day, we all have disabilities. We all have cognitive limits, we all have limits of our senses, and a failure to recognise the multiplicity of barriers that stand between us and what sometimes is life saving information is an urgent public work that needs to take place.
