NHS Talking Therapies

NHS talking therapies, or psychological therapies, are effective and confidential treatments delivered free of charge by fully trained and accredited NHS practitioners. They can help if you’re struggling with things like:

  • feelings of depression
  • excessive worry
  • social anxiety
  • post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

You can refer yourself directly to an NHS talking therapies service without a referral from a GP, or a GP can refer you.
