Intervention entailed six sessions of counselling-CBT delivered either by a trained Nurse, or by a Psychologist. Sessions focussed on: psycho-education about PND, main issues of concern, assessment of symptom severity, problem solving. Behavioural interventions (pleasant activities, anxiety management, relaxation, relationship communication) were used together with cognitive interventions (understanding links between thoughts and feelings, increasing positive thoughts, challenging negative self-talk and unhelpful beliefs).
