They are part of the IAPT program (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies), they usually come from a variety of backgrounds (counsellors, nurses, OT's, Grad mental health workers, Psychology graduates, etc), they have to then qualify as a PWP (Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner) through a Uni course.

The generally use a CBT-based approach and usually offer Supported Self-Help or sometimes groupwork, mainly time-limited and brief.

Best checkout the IAPT website for a better description, just stick 'IAPT' in a search engine.
