There are three main practitioner roles within NHS North Cumbria Talking Therapies:

High Intensity Practitioners provide cognitive-behavioural therapy for people with moderate to severe depression and anxiety disorders (e.g. PTSD, OCD, Panic Disorder, Health Anxiety, Phobias, Social Anxiety) and a small number in each locality provide EMDR for PTSD when appropriate.

Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners are trained in CBT-informed approaches for people with mild to moderate anxiety and depression. These approaches include guided self-help and delivering psycho-educational groups.

Counsellors provide brief counselling and CBT-informed treatments in line with NICE guidelines. They provide counselling for depression (when people have not responded to, or prefer not to use a CBT approach) and work with mild eating disorders
