This study is a single-centre, interventional implementation and feasibility study.
Patients in the IBD service will be able to access COMPASS, an online cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) programme, as part of standard care at Guy's and St Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust.
COMPASS is an online program. It will consist of 11 online modules which target challenges associated with living with IBD (and other long-term conditions) and includes, amongst other things, psycho-education, patient examples, interactive tasks and goal setting. Participants are linked to a therapist; 'guide', who will provide 5-6 x 30 minute support sessions delivered fortnightly in the format preferred by the client (phone and/or in-site message).
