  2. Complex Clients or Worried Well? Who do UK Counsellors see? How well do they feel prepared for it? How much are they affected by it? Thomas Schröder, University of Nottingham & Sue Wheeler, University of Leicester

  3. Outline: • Mapping GAF scores onto stepped care tiers • Describing the ISDP and UK samples • Reporting descriptive statistics for counsellor’s caseload • Reporting correlates of caseload complexity

  4. Introduction: • Stepped care model introduced as part of IAPT initiative • Skills mix and remuneration linked to stepped care tiers • Training of new therapists aligned to stepped care model • Status of existing workforce unclear

  5. GAF Scores & Descriptions

  6. GAF Scores & Stepped Care Tiers

  7. The ISDP(International Study of the Development of Psychotherapists) • Collaborative effort by a group of practitioner-researchers (CRN). • Survey using Common Core Questionnaire (CCQ). • Comparative cohort, cross-sectional, and longitudinal perspectives. • Current database of 8000 therapists from 20+ countries.

  9. ISDP: UK Samples • Collaboration with BABCP (British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists) N = 257 • Collaboration with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)N = 660 • Total N = 957

  10. The BACP Study - Two Samples –

  11. The BACP Samples Comparison with other Surveys

  12. GAF Bands and Total Caseload

  13. Subgroups of respondents • 69 % do not report any cases in the ‘Tier 5’ category. • 5 % report a quarter or more of their cases in the ‘Tier 5’ category. • 38 % do not report any cases in the ‘Tier 1’ category. • 16 % report half or more of their cases in the ‘Tier 1’ category.

  14. Correlates of weighted caseload ‘Stress index’ derived from weighting caseload by GAF category. Positive correlations with: • Ability to work with psychiatric disorder (r =.12, p < .005) • Ability to chose clientele (r =.12, p < .005) • Satisfaction as a therapist (r = .19, p <.001) • ‘Healing involvement’ (r = .30, p < .001)
