Treatment Delivery
How can you receive treatment from the Norfolk and Waveney Talking Therapies?
CBT can be delivered in the following ways:
- 1:1 Video or telephone sessions with a clinician
- 1:1 Face to face (for some therapies with a clinician)
- Online workshops (known as webinars)
Video or Telephone
Treatment can be delivered by video link (a bit like Skype). We use Microsoft Teams. It will allow you to see each other on the screen so you have the benefit of face to face working, but without having to leave your home!
Treatment can also be delivered by telephone, for those that prefer not to use video
Face to face
One-to-one:
This is exactly as you would expect. You meet your therapist in a location convenient to both of you and receive psychological therapy in the traditional way.
Online
Online Workshops
Online workshops allow you to access psychoeducational, CBT based sessions via a webinar.
We offer one off workshops where you can attend without needing an assessment with the service. After you've registered, you will be sent a link which allows you to access the webinar on your computer / laptop / tablet or phone.
Other workshops take place as a series over 3-4 weeks, and are a complete treatment following assessment of your needs / next steps.
The workshops are presented by Talking Therapies staff, and are designed to be interactive. None of the other participants or staff will be able to see or hear you, but you will have the opportunity to ask questions via a chat system that only the Talking Therapies staff can see. They will never identify you, but will either respond to you privately via the chat , or will speak in the group about the point you have raised, or the question you have asked. There is a good chance that others are thinking the same thing! So they might say something like: 'Someone has made the point that ' or 'Someone has asked if does anyone else have this issue? ' This means you can be involved and actively take part, completely anonymously.
If you'd rather not contribute, that's completely fine too. You are welcome to sit and watch and hear what other people have said via the staff delivering the webinar.
