Providing Emotional Support Around the Point of Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis: PrEliMS 2

Participants will then commence the intervention for the next 4 weeks. They will be sent the workbook via post. This will not be a standalone self-help intervention; participants will progress through the workbook alongside weekly emotional support sessions. These will either be over the phone or using an online video-call software, depending on participants preference. The first session will be an hour long to set-up the workbook, answer questions and go through goal setting. The following three weekly sessions will be half an hour to revisit exercises in the workbook, answer questions and review how the workbook progress is going. All sessions will be delivered by a trainee clinical psychologist who will receive standardised training and ongoing supervision from an experienced clinical psychologist.
