What this trial is about
The goal of this case series study is to learn if culturally-adapted cognitive-behavioural therapy is practical, acceptable and safe among Black Sub-Saharan African and Caribbean people experiencing psychosis.

Participants will be asked to: * Answer some questionnaires about how things are at the moment * Attend up to 16 sessions of therapy * Answer the same questionnaires to see what has changed, if anything * Complete a semi-structured interview about their expectations and experience of therapy
