Cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) is used within mental health services as a treatment for a range of mental health difficulties. Recent research has adapted CAT to be used as guided self-help for anxiety within Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT). IAPT is a mental health service. Guided self help-CAT (CAT-GSH) is delivered by mental health professionals called Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs). This current study aims to develop and pilot a CAT-GSH manual for depression for use in the same context and practitioners. Stage one uses past research and consultation meetings to help develop the treatment. Stage two will use different approaches to explore the acceptability and outcomes of the intervention.
