Mental health services

One in four people will experience a mental health issue at some point in their lives. We commission a range of support to help people manage and recover from their illness.

Work stress, relationship or money worries, feeling low or difficulty sleeping?
Talking Therapies is a free and confidential NHS service which provides support from people who understand what you are experiencing. The expert team will work with you to find the best treatment just for you, and give you effective tools and techniques that are proven to work. 

We’ve helped thousands of people who were experiencing the exact same feelings as you and they have said this service has helped them feel better:

“I’ve come a long way in a short amount of time, it’s changed my life.” Patient Melissa Miles.

“I feel much better now. My sessions with the therapist were really practical.” Patient Lauren Barrett
