Finding help just got easier

Improving your mental wellbeing

Throughout life, we all have times when we have low mental wellbeing, where we feel stressed, upset or find it difficult to cope. We will work with you to look at any wider issues in your life that may be affecting your wellbeing. These may include money worries, relationship issues, social isolation, housing and employment. We can then offer the right support for you, which may include information and advice, groups, courses or one-to-one support to help improve your situation.

Improving your mental health

Sometimes a greater level of support is needed more serious mental health difficulties, such as anxiety or depression. We offer easy access to a range of proven talking therapies, including counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), or guided online therapy.

Do you need urgent support?

If you feel unable to keep yourself safe and you need immediate help, it is crucial that you contact the right person and that is most likely to be your GP. Out of hours, you can also call Samaritans (116 123), NHS Direct (111) or Emergency services (999) if you or anyone else is in immediate danger or harm.

What to expect

You can self refer online, speak to your GP or contact us on 01625 469 955 to access Talking Therapies. We're open from Monday – Friday between 9:00am to 5:00pm. Once we have received your referral, you will be contacted within three days. We will check your details and tell you more about the service. We’ll then arrange your first appointment, typically within four to six weeks.
