As originally designed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is not very child friendly. In Pesky gNATs we have used our understanding of developmental psychology, clinical psychology and computer science to tackle the problem of translating the adult oriented ideas of CBT into something that is accessible to younger children. The video on the right introduces the key elements of Pesky gNATs. For more information and videos please see our Pesky gNATs page.

 Pesky gNATs is developed by Handaxe CIC, a not-for-profit community interest company founded by David Coyle and Gary O’Reilly.
