Below are the treatment options that can be offered at Hammersmith and Fulham Talking Therapies (formerly Back on Track). However, we can’t guarantee that all of these options will be offered to you. The option offered will be in line with what you discuss during your appointment, your preferences, and the NHS NICE guidelines for the treatment of mental health concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural therapy groups are currently on offer for:

  • Stress
  • Parents with post-natal mental health concerns
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Social anxiety
  • Low self-esteem and mindfulness-based groups.

• Each session is facilitated by two therapists, mostly in the evenings, from 1.5-2 hours in duration.

• Sessions are longer than one to one so can go into more depth and offer more time in therapy than 1:1 treatment

• Receive immediate support from other people with shared experiences

• Many people are surprised at how much positive change they can achieve in a group setting.

“I was very surprised the learning was very personal with multiple people in the group. I really enjoyed listening to other people's experiences and making connections with myself over and over again. I could relate to other people's experiences.”

This is the same content and time in therapy as 1:1 treatment.

• You can work through at your own pace, around a busy life, using any digital device.

• Flexible to fit with your lifestyle and access to the platform for 1 year after sessions are

completed.

• You’ll also have a dedicated therapist who will give weekly feedback, guidance, and support.

“This was a great experience, and I’m really thankful. My therapist gave thoughtful feedback on my modules, and I felt like the course was structured in a very helpful way.”

• A short block of 6 one to one sessions with a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP)

• Sessions can be by telephone, video call, or face-to-face

• Your PWP will use written materials and booklets to help guide the sessions to support you in creating a tool kit of strategies to navigate and support your wellbeing moving forward.

“In this short time, I’ve learned so much about myself and my issues. This has given me the tools to go forward in life with a positive outlook. Before this everything seemed impossible, now I know things are possible.”

• A block of one-to-one sessions (8-12) with a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT)

• Sessions can be by telephone, video call, or face-to-face

• Used to treat a range of specific or persistent mental health difficulties.

“I can’t begin to find words that would adequately cover the friendly, professional, sessions that I received. The techniques taught to control the trauma, fear, and anxiety I will carry forward and I would like to wholeheartedly thank my therapist for all her help.”

• A block of time-limited one to one sessions with a counsellor

• Sessions can be by telephone, video call or face to face

• Counselling offers an open space to talk through problems or situations that are causing you distress.

There are also some other specialized therapies available which would be discussed with you at the assessment if appropriate.
