I suspect it depends on who they have on their books. It appears to me that you're generally more likely to receive CBT from the NHS at the moment than either Psychodynamic or Person-Centred therapy, because the government is enamoured of its alleged effectiveness after a very short course of treatment, although the CBT will be administered by a therapist trained in one or the other (Psychodynamic or Person-Centred), because you can't learn CBT without a 'foundation' model. It'll depend on the age of the child as well - play therapy is commonly used on the younger ones.
