Talking therapies, or psychological therapies, are effective and confidential treatments delivered by fully trained and accredited NHS practitioners. They can help with common mental health problems like stress, anxiety and depression.
You can access talking therapies for free on the NHS.
You can refer yourself directly to an NHS talking therapies service without a referral from a GP, or a GP can refer you.
Help is available in person, by video, over the phone or as an online course.
Talking Therapies is for those who experience depression, low mood, anxiety, worry, panic attacks, fear, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The service is also equipped to support those with long-term health conditions (including, but not limited to, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, chronic pain and respiratory conditions) and men and women struggling to adjust during the perinatal period (the moment one becomes pregnant through one year after giving birth).
