About the five areas approach

booksThe five areas approach* is one of the world’s most used ways of communicating the CBT model. Aiming to provide an accessible language and powerful, clearly communicated change tools, the approach is widely used.

The key has been retaining the benefits of the CBT approach- its focus on problems of relevance to the person, it’s structured step by step approach, all built on a supportive relationship with a practitioner.

The approach has created a range of practitioner support resources that can be used to treat a wide range of mental and physical health problems. Linked training, consultancy and support provides implementation solutions that can make a big difference.

Five Areas Limited aims to provide high quality, accessible resources that help people to help themselves using award-winning, practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) treatment tools. We work with individuals, services and businesses, delivering service change/ redesign, training, online life skills resources and consultancy.

The development of the Five Areas approach began in 1998 with the creation of the Five Areas approach which aims to deliver the CBT model in an accessible and practical way that patients engage with. It has since become a leader in the design and development of CBT delivery resources.

We have a robust evidence base for our CBT self-help resources, with multiple randomized control trials and evaluations with positive outcomes, that have been published amongst the world’s top health journals. With extensive experience of delivery in Europe and North America, the approach is one of the most widely used CBT systems available.
