How our service works

It is important to be aware that we are a talking therapy service and not a traditional counselling service. We offer many evidenced-based treatment options recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Once we receive your referral, we will book your assessment appointment. After assessment, we will decide with you the most suitable talking therapy from the following NICE-recommended therapies:

  • interpersonal psychotherapy
  • couples therapy for depression
  • counselling for depression
  • mindfulness-based cognitive therapy
  • cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), low or high intensity

We provide people with different treatments, depending on their needs. We usually start with the least intensive treatment first.

It may be that another service is more suitable for your current needs and we can help signpost you to one of these.

Treatment is provided by trained IAPT therapists, either one to one or in a group course, and can be:

  • by online video call
  • face to face at one of our locations across the county
  • by telephone
