Following your initial telephone assessment, your Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner could encorporate any of the following interventions into your treatment plan. These will be tailored to fit your individual needs and help you work towards recovery:
Guided Self-Help. This uses self-help materials (in the form of booklets/worksheets) based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with regular telephone support from your Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner. It encourages you to work through the materials and set goals on a weekly basis as agreed by yourself and your Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner.
Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (cCBT). This is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy provided by an interactive computer programme. The programme can be accessed in your own home or on a PC in your local library. cCBT is offered by our Online Support Practitioners who you will have regular appointments with to follow your recovery progress.
