We work with people aged 16 and above who are currently being supported by one of the community mental health teams. We also provide consultation and support to staff working in these teams.

You can be referred to us by your community mental health team for individual or group therapy. Some of the individual therapies we currently offer are:
- Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT)
- Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR)
- Cognitive analytic therapy (CAT)
- Psychoanalytic psychotherapy
- Compassion focused therapy (CFT)
The group therapies we currently offer are:
- Bipolar relapse prevention group
- Hearing voices drop-in group
- Regulating emotion through acceptance and change (REACH – dialetical behavioural therapy-informed skills group)
Some of the psychological therapists in our team also work in other services to deliver the following therapies:
- Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT – across the whole Pennine Care area)
- Mentalisation based therapy (MBT – across Stockport, Tameside and Glossop)
We also offer neuropsychological assessments. These look at how your brain is managing certain areas of thinking, such as remembering, concentrating and problem solving, if you are experiencing these difficulties as well as mental health needs.
Community mental health colleagues can also access support by our service through consultation clinics, formulation meetings, training, post-incident support, and peer supervision groups.
