How does it work?
We’re proud to work in partnership with Stockport Progress and Recovery Centre, Your Support and Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust to offer our Talking Therapies service to adults registered with a GP in Stockport or Greater Manchester, supporting them to better understand and improve their mental health and wellbeing. As an accessible service we can tailor our support for neurodiversity, autism and learning disabilities.
Our Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs) at Pure Innovations Talking Therapies deliver low-Intensity cognitive behavioural therapy (LICBT), an approach recommended for mild-moderate common mental health difficulties (e.g. anxiety or depression) with an emphasis on guided self-help. We will listen without judgement to try and help find the right support for you.
Pure do not operate a crisis services. We understand the importance of immediate support, if you or someone you know is in need of urgent mental health support act now: NHS 111: Call 111 and select the mental health option 2. Samaritans: Available 24/7 at 116 123 or via email at jo@samaritans.org. Shout Crisis Text Line: Text “SHOUT” to 85258. Emergency Services: If someone’s life is at risk, call 999 or go to the nearest A&E.
Accessibility
Pure Innovations is committed to providing an accessible service so that everybody (including those who experience neurodiversity, autism or learning disabilities) who needs therapy can access it. You can tell your PWP if you are finding anything about your sessions or the between-session tasks difficult. Here are some of the things that we can do to help:
Treatment Sessions
If we agree this service suits you, we’ll begin with six 30-45 minute sessions with a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP). If needed, we can extend the sessions.
You can choose to have these sessions in person, over the phone or via video call.
You can use a workbook with your PWP to learn more about yourself and guide your sessions. You’ll have tasks to do, and some of them might use online resources to help you on your wellbeing journey between sessions.
