How does it work?
Our accessible Talking Therapies service supports people aged 16 and over who live in Greater Manchester to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
Our Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs) provide low-intensity cognitive behavioural therapy (LI-CBT). This is a recommended approach for mild to moderate mental health difficulties. Sessions focus on guided self-help, and we listen without judgement to support you.
LI-CBT can help with:
- Excessive worry
- Low mood
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Obsessive thoughts or behaviours
- Panic attacks
- Phobias, for example fear of enclosed spaces or heights
