Free, convenient, online and it works!
Yes it works! The thought of referring patients to an online treatment feels very different to referring patients to a face to face meeting with a counsellor. Each patient that completes an online assessment will receive a telephone call or email from a trained therapist regarding their assessment results and the recommendations for treatment. If a patient elects to start treatment they will have weekly contact with a therapist. The therapist will assist the patient through the well-tested cognitive behavioural treatment (CBT) course. Therapists assist patients to learn skills to manage their symptoms.

Do you know anyone who has difficulty motivating themselves to exercise? I think we all know people who get too depressed to exercise or too anxious to leave the house. But there are other people who, despite a lack of “diagnosis”, find exercise hugely difficult to contemplate.
As someone who has practiced medicine for almost four decades I have had the opportunity to observe firsthand the upsurge in the use of opioid pain killers in non-cancer pain.
