Mental Health services are all free on the NHS however in many cases you will need to be referred by a GP or another specialist. Some of the services outlined below may also allow you to self-refer.
Accessing talking therapies and other forms of support can be a great benefit for your mental health and wellbeing and many people have found it has helped them to feel better:
“I had no idea what I needed when I got to my first appointment at the clinical psychology department. Immediately the psychologist guided me through decluttering my mind and regaining clarity on my vision and the path I wanted to follow. Each meeting built upon the work of the previous one, and I left feeling empowered with techniques and coping strategies to help me navigate my life confidently. I would recommend the psychology services to anyone who feels overwhelmed in any area of their life. I feel very grateful for this short interaction, which made a lifelong positive impact.”
If you are referred to psychological therapies for support, you may be referred to a specialist team. You can find out more information about each team below. Each mental health team box will contain information about what services they offer, what to expect, and how to be referred. You will find a number of self-help resources on the Mental Health and Wellbeing page.
