What psychological support is available?
If you think you could benefit from having a space to talk about your difficulties, then there is a completely free, accessible, confidential, high quality psychological therapies service available. This is IAPT and stands for Improving Access to Psychological Therapies.
There are different kinds of “talking therapies” available. The first step will usually be a telephone call from a therapist who will ask about your difficulties and think with you about what type of help you might need. They will then make suggestions about types of treatment which might be helpful or sometimes they might suggest a different service that can help. During the coronavirus pandemic, these services are mostly offering treatment appointments online, by telephone or video call.
Contact us via the chat box if you would like to talk to someone about whether IAPT would be suitable for you.
