What is supported self help?

Supported self-help is a six-week guided programme, where we give you the materials to understand and manage your feelings and our amazing practitioners will call you on a weekly basis to guide and support you. 

This service is a one-to-one guided self-help program rather than a counseling service, although our practitioners use counseling-based skills in their support. These includes elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools and other forms of assistance.

Between 84 - 90% of people who have accessed this service have experienced improvements in their mental health..

“Zoe has been great, very understanding and helpful and has made me feel better about a lot of things that cause my anxiety. She has helped me understand it and how to deal with it in a better and more positive way.”

How can this service support me? 

We work with you to determine the most suitable supported self-help program for your needs, and together we establish a support plan, covering areas such as:

• Anxiety and panic attacks 
  

• Coping with grief and loss 

• Loneliness and feeling lonely 

• Low self esteem 

• Low mood and depression 

• Managing anger 

• Managing stress 

• Understanding menopause

Is this service right for me?

• It doesn't matter if you have an existing treatment plan for your mental health – our practitioners will help you understand if this service is right for you or reach out to other services that might help 

• We don't care how 'serious' your problem is – it is for you if you feel your emotions are getting the better of you 

• You don't need to have a diagnosed mental health problem to access this service.
