Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is well established as an effective intervention for people with unipolar depression, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, social phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizophrenia. There are two separate strands to developing improved and coherent management of CBT resistance: identification and assessment of patients’ continuing needs and selection of appropriate interventions.

Leisure counselling is defined as the systematic exploitation of a client's past, existing or prospective hobbies, activities and interests for broad psychotherapeutic purposes. It functions as a powerful agent in the invigoration of a range of existing but inadequate coping skills, and can also act in an innovatory style when such key skills are absent. The author argues that the effective functioning of leisure counselling requires a methodology of application. The author identifies a triad of approach techniques open to the leisure counsellor, distraction, anticipation and confrontation, and outlines appropriate settings in which they may be implemented. Outlines how leisure counselling may be applied across a wide span of coping needs and covers three broad domains: the need to ease phobias, panics, stress and tension states, and the aftermath of traumatic episodes; the need to create and sustain positive moods; and the need to contain and limit the destructive demands of habits and impulses as well as address the very sharp therapeutic challenge of obsessions and compulsions.
