CBT Counseling

Mind in Bexley provides a service to residents of North Bexley and Clocktower on step 2 of the NICE depression model of care using guided self help CBT and CBT based Group Work. This service includes individual and group sessions.

The overall outcome of the guided self-help CBT project is to provide a high quality standard of care and to enable patients to access the service without reasonable delays.

The service aims to decrease dependency on, and minimise referrals to, secondary mental health services.

The scheme also aims to empower and provide those referred to the scheme with long-term life skills which will reduce isolation and enhance independence and well being. Patients who access the service are also able to access other Mind in Bexley self help and user run initiatives, which can only improve wellbeing and assist with integration and the full participation of patients in the wider society.
