Therapies - GCSE Psychology Definition

In the context of psychology, 'therapies' refer to different methods used to help people manage and overcome mental health problems or emotional difficulties. Talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), involves discussing thoughts and feelings to change behaviours, or counselling, where someone listens and helps guide you through your issues. Therapies can also be creative, such as art or music therapy, which use creative processes to help express and process emotions. The aim of therapies is to improve someone's mental well-being, helping them feel better and deal with life's challenges more effectively.
