NHS Talking Therapies is the new name for improving access to psychological therapies (IAPT) services across the country.
We provide a range of talking therapies for anxiety and depression.
In some of our areas we may also be able to support you with other mental health conditions and if you have a long-term physical health condition.

We are offering a mental health self-help programme called SilverCloud, where you can instantly access materials which have been shown to have a positive impact on depression, anxiety and stress.
You can log into the program from any device as often as you want, and we'll regularly support you as you work through the materials. Once you have completed the program, you will still be able to access the information in your account for up to a year.
