Summary

This small study will test whether a type of therapy called Compassion Focused Therapy, combined with Loving Kindness Meditation, can help children aged 12-17 with epilepsy who feel anxious, stressed, or ashamed about their condition. Participants will attend three online therapy sessions and practice meditation for four weeks. The goal is to see if this approach improves their mood, self-compassion, and quality of life.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * 12-17 years old * Have a diagnosis of epilepsy. This is to be confirmed by the recruiting professional who will confirm via the participant's medical records. * Currently showing or reporting mild-moderate psychological distress: including anxiety, low mood or stress, in relation to their health condition, as identified by local clinicians recruiting to study. * Have access to a computer/internet enabled electronic device e.g. a tablet or mobile phone. * English speaker to a standard sufficient to participate in verbal communication without an interpreter. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of an Intellectual Disability. As this is a time limited intervention with a set protocol, there will not be opportunity to make adaptations to the intervention. Consistency across the participants is important to show any effect of the intervention. * Currently receiving any other mental health treatment in order to reduce extraneous variables from other mental health treatment. * Current report of self-harming behaviours as the research cannot monitor or manage risk. * Severe psychological distress e.g. depression, psychosis or an eating disorder, as this is likely to require specialist psychological support. * Seizures are due to Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder
