NHS Talking Therapies services seek to use the least intrusive method of care possible to treat people. This is called 'stepped care'. The clinician delivering your treatment will explain to you what choices are available and why they are considered suitable for you. Our service is non-judgemental, and we'll offer you as many treatment options as possible to help you decide what works best for you.

Psychological Treatment Workshops: these sessions are interactive between you and one of our therapists. They are designed to present information about mental health difficulties and some of the things you can do to manage your problems effectively.
