Read our Anxiety research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a type of talk therapy called Cognitive Analytic Therapy guided self-help (CAT-GSH) works well for people with anxiety or depression who have come back to NHS Talking Therapies services for another round of treatment. You would choose between receiving CAT-GSH or CBT-GSH (another common talk therapy approach), delivered with support from a trained therapist over six one-to-one sessions.
Many people need mental health support more than once in their lives. This trial wants to understand whether CAT-GSH is an effective and acceptable option for people returning with anxiety or depression, so the NHS can offer the best choices for those who need help again.

You would first be screened at an assessment appointment and given time to read information about the study. A researcher would call to answer your questions and ask which therapy approach you prefer. You would then receive six one-to-one sessions with a trained therapist using your chosen approach (either CAT-GSH or CBT-GSH), with the service tracking your progress using their routine outcome measures throughout.
