Abstract
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for anxiety and depression. It is important to determine the positive and negative aspects of CBT from the perspective of service users. However, there has been a lack of qualitative exploration into service user experiences of the therapy. This review aimed to address this gap by examining participants' experiences of CBT for anxiety and depression. Databases were searched and data were synthesised thematically. CBT was well-received by participants, though barriers to engagement were identified. CBT was often perceived as too difficult or demanding, as well as interventions being short and therefore superficial. Clinician qualities of being trustworthy, non-judgemental, and understanding appear to be significant contributors to client engagement and recovery. Findings support the delivery of in-depth clinician led CBT for anxiety and depression, as well as highlighting the need to review CBT delivery to better support service users.
