N2 - BackgroundHealth professionals were trained to deliver adapted psychological interventions for depression to people with learning disabilities and depression alongside a supporter. Exploring the delivery of psychological interventions can help increase access to therapy.MethodTwenty‐seven participants took part in six focus groups, and the data were subject to a Framework Analysis.ResultsThe structure and focus of the manualised therapies, and the use of specific techniques were perceived as key to service‐user engagement. Supporters' involvement was valued by therapists if they had a good relationship and regular contact with the individual they supported. Regular clinical supervision was regarded as vital in understanding their role, assessing progress and delivering the interventions.ConclusionsThe findings highlight that health professionals can embrace a focussed therapeutic role and increase access to psychological therapies for people with intellectual disabilities.
