Pure Innovations to offer mental health support to Stockport residents

Stockport residents registered with a GP in the borough are now able to access Talking Therapy Services from Pure Innovations to help improve their mental health and wellbeing.

The charity is working in partnership with Stockport Progress and Recovery Centre, Your Support and Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust to offer its Talking Therapies service to adults registered with a GP in Stockport or Manchester.

Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWP) at Pure Innovations’ Talking Therapy Services 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.

Following an initial assessment, participants will be offered six treatment sessions lasting between 30 – 45 minutes with a PWP, either in person, via phone or through a video call. Alongside sessions, your PWP will give you a workbook that you will work through together, as well as completing tasks between appointments.

Stockport residents can self-refer to the service via the Pure Innovations website, by requesting a referral form via email, or by calling 0161 804 4415.
