I want to ask about talking therapies. In the CAMHS system how much talking therapy happens and how much does it work? Do young people have one-to-one conversations with psychotherapists to talk through issues that are going on for them, such as anxiety and stress? I know there are extreme cases but I want to ask about the many young people who are dealing with great anxiety and stress in today's world. They feel they have to be the best at everything. Is talking therapy part of this and will it be used more?
