Information for GPs

NewAccess coaches use low-intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a structured, evidence-based psychological treatment.

The NewAccess program structure asks participants to work with a coach for 6 sessions over 6 weeks. The coach will book follow up sessions to check in on their progress.

During the initial assessment (up to 60 minutes), a coach will guide participants to talk through challenges, develop a problem statement, define exactly what the issues are, create a plan based on their needs - including practical actions to tackle the issues. Read more here.
