Guided Self-Help Midlothian (Health in Mind)
Guided Self Help is a short term therapy for people experiencing mild to moderate distress, such as anxiety, depression and / or stress.
With the support of a worker, the service aims to help people gain an understanding of their own problems, and come up with strategies for overcoming them. This short-term approach is based on cognitive-behavioural principles with a proven evidence base.
Workers will assist people to explore and develop their own solutions, tailored to their specific needs. This involves the use of high quality self-help materials, such as workbooks, books, websites, signposting towards other services, as well as focusing on lifestyle factors, such as relaxation and sleep.
A GP referral is required to use this service. The service is open to adults aged 18 and over living in Midlothian, affected by mild to moderate mental ill health. Workers can see people in GP Practices in Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith and Penicuik.
