General practice counselling utilizes a biopsychosocial model, integrating patient strengths and resources. This approach addresses physical, emotional, and social factors for tailored mental health care in primary settings.

Area of Science:

  • General Practice
  • Psychological Medicine
  • Primary Health Care

Background:

  • General practice counselling differs from other settings due to long-term patient relationships and integrated physical/mental health care.
  • GPs are often the first point of contact for patients with distress, who may not recognize psychological components.
  • Barriers include time constraints and cultural expectations within consultations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a practical biopsychosocial model for counselling within general practice.
  • To leverage unique GP knowledge and skills for patient care.
  • To discuss theoretical and practical barriers to counselling in primary care.

Main Methods:

  • A biopsychosocial assessment framework is proposed.
