Summary

People sometimes wait a long time for psychological therapy and could have this sooner if they had only one session. This is because they may only require one session to meet their needs if this is provided quickly (Cannistrà et al., 2020) and may therefore require less therapy overall, and if they can access this, then services can run more efficiently, and overall capacity of services to offer therapy can increase.

Some therapies are hard to deliver in one session. But the method of levels (MOL) was conceived to be highly flexible with respect to session length and number of sessions, and this makes it easier to use in one-off sessions. It is designed to help people focus on problems they describe as being most relevant to them and to find their own solutions.

We want to know if we can give one session of MOL to people seeking help from their GP. We want to see if they find it helpful. So we need to find out if they want and attend the session and if they tell us about it.

This will help us decide whether to run a larger study exploring whether one session of MOL can help meet the goals of people seeking GP support. This could tell us whether MOL could help reduce waiting times.

We will ask people using GP surgeries if they want to participate. They will be offered one session of MOL with their usual support. We will ask them to complete questionnaires to see if they found the therapy helpful.

We will note how many participate, attend sessions, and complete questionnaires. We will check whether participants liked having MOL and will interview 10-12 of them to learn about what they thought.

The research will be funded by The University of Manchester.
