About the Overcoming Series and SPIRIT | Living Life to the Full | Self Help Resources | Online CBT
Your Country:

The Five Areas® approach describes a distinctive range of resources that aim to be accessible and impactful in services.

Our Five Areas® range of resources provide an all-in-one low intensity service solution.

Services in the UK and internationally have implemented low cost, accessible CBT resources and seen the benefits for their service, staff and patients. Our basic approach is that a service purchases access to a core set of CBT-based books or online modules. Five Areas Ltd provides training for your staff in how to implement and support people in using the resources. Finally, an optional additional element is that we licence our practitioner training resources to your service so that your experienced practitioners can go on to train further staff within your own locality teams.

Our SPIRIT range of resource consist of:

  1. A range of books (Overcoming  depression and low mood: a five areas approach Overcoming Anxiety, Stress and Panic: A Five Areas Approach and companion books) – that can be used by practitioners with their clients.
  2. Five Areas Ltd can provide a commissioned training course (called SPIRIT) in introducing and using the resources  (SPIRIT: Structured Psychosocial InteRventions In Teams).
  3. An online self-directed course for the general public that provides access core Overcoming content for use in a supported or self-directed way. This award-winning approach by the roll out of a national Bounceback service by the Canadian Mental Health Service in Canada.
  4. Resources for practitioners/services to enable access to the book resources – this includes PDFs, worksheets and books you can licence for use on your secure staff server or Intranet
  5. SPIRIT Practitioner training resources for your experienced staff to train others.
  6. A Clinicians guide to introducing these different elements into services (CBT: A Clinician’s Guide to using the Five Areas Approach).
