What is Low Intensity Therapy
and
Guided-Self-Help?

Low Intensity Therapy is a cost-effective form of treatment of common mental health problems which has emerged from research showing that blended-therapy (Online + Professional) can be as effective as in-person only therapy.

​

This has led to countries like the US, Canada, UK and Australia have adopted a Stepped-Care model of providing Mental Health care.

 

For Mild to Moderate problems, a lower intensity psychological intervention can be effective and help patients achieve recovery from their difficulties with a less intensive treatment.

​

This means that sometimes more cose effective treatment can help someone recover from their difficulties with less waiting time.

How does it work?

Following assessment, where a common difficulty with an evidence-base for a low intensity approach is identified, patients are given the option to receive pure-self-help (PSH) or guided-self-help (GSH).
Examples of PSH in German include the DiGAs.

GSH however has a stronger evidence-base as more patients tend to complete a treatment when it is guided by a professional.

We refer to this as Blended-Care.
