‘Living Life’ is a telephone service based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles. It provides help for people suffering from low mood, mild to moderate depression, symptoms of anxiety or a combination of both. The service is provided by a team of cognitive behavioural therapists supported by NHS 24.
What does the service offer?
Living Life is available to anyone living in Scotland and over the age of 16 experiencing:
- low mood
- mild to moderate depression
- symptoms of anxiety
- a combination of these symptoms.
A series of appointments are offered, with a therapist who will talk the person through specific materials and workbooks. These support sessions will help the individual react more positively to situations, suporting self-esteem and confidence.
The service operates from 1pm to 9pm, Monday to Friday
