Counselling in general practice
Drug Ther Bull.

Abstract
Up to 30% of the problems that patients consult their GPs about have a psychosocial component. Managing the needs of these patients has contributed to the increase of counselling provision in primary care. Most primary care groups (81%) have some provision for practice-based counselling, and around a third to a half of general practices now have counselling services provided by a range of practitioners. Here, we assess the effectiveness of counselling for managing emotional and mental health problems in general practice.
