Abstract: A substantial body of literature exists concerning the adaptation of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for people with learning disabilities. However, it is possible that cognitive approaches have been prioritised at the expense of behavioural techniques that are simpler and more effective. This case conceptualisation considers a behaviourally focused approach to helping a woman with a mild learning disability who was experiencing low mood and anxiety, delivered by a trainee clinical psychologist working within a multidisciplinary team.
