I did a google search and found this PDF document produced by the Bath Paediatric clinic, which is Crawley's clinic.

CBT for Chronic Fatigue: Therapist Manual
PAEDIATRIC ME/CFS TEAM, ROYAL UNITED HOSPITAL, BATH, UK
Starbuck, J., Loades, M.E., & Chapple, K. | 2022

I haven't read it all, but it's clear they are still working with the fear avoldance and excessing symptom focusing model and with setting goals etc.

Edit: It seems they are still conflating CF and CFS.

They have always conflated CF and CFS. They never seen to get called out on it
Hence why some improve .

yes, Crawley et al have used it a lot.

eta: eg
"UK specialist medical care (SMC) for paediatric Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) includes behavioural approaches (Graded Exercise Therapy; Activity Management) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for fatigue (CBT-F)."

No point bothering to check whether they used this term elsewhere, it's explicitly referencing NICE as recommending it, a blatantly false assertion. There is no such distinction made in any source that made such recommendations, CBT is as generic as it gets, it matters just as much as the difference between one homeopathic treatment and another.

Frankly this whole thing about having different versions is just as much bullshit as the "virtual drugs" scam. Basically downloadable drugs that use what's called binaural beats and creates drug-like effects. Of course it does no such thing, it's just a label to scam people with.

It really is brazen - I assumed there must be at least some NICE recommendation of "fatigue" that specified Activity Management, Graded Exercise Therapy or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - yet as you say there is absolutely nothing, except in the Clinical Knowledge Summaries Tiredness/fatigue in adults which applies to over 18s only.
 
OK so this poster presentation is based (sort of) on the paper discussed here: https://www.s4me.info/threads/is-it...dolescents-with-cfs-2021-crawley-et-al.20297/

which was published just before the NICE Guidline came out - oddly as @Sly Saint points out* two versions seem to have made it to the BMJ https://adc.bmj.com/content/106/Suppl_1/A264 and https://bmjpaedsopen.bmj.com/content/5/1/e001139 both pushed through while the guideline was in pause. The authors seem to have either lazily or deliberately not updated the material for their Poster - except to include the absurd 3.28% prevalence figure - the article uses 0.55%.

Trial By Error: Professor Crawley Promotes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for CBT Failures

"What is going on with Professor Esther Crawley, Bristol University’s methodologically and ethically challenged pediatrician and grant magnet? And why is she still disseminating misguided views about treatments for vulnerable children? Haven’t kids suffered enough from the discredited claims of the GET/CBT ideological brigades?"
