What can Talking Therapies help me with?
People can often:
- Feel persistently low or depressed leading to a lack of motivation
- Worry excessively
- Have flashbacks or nightmares about a traumatic incident
- Have to do things over and over, or in a certain way, to feel better
- Avoid places or situations that make them feel anxious
- Struggle with anxious sensations like a racing heart, being short of breath, or changes to sleep or appetite.
You might already have a good idea what your problem is. A doctor may have given you a diagnosis, however you don’t need to have diagnosis for us to be able to help you with low mood or an anxiety problem.
We can help you get back on track.

Mental health problems caused or made worse by life events (like problems with money or work, relationship breakdown, or grief)
It is normal after certain life events to experience low mood or anxiety. This can include things like a break-up of a relationship, losing your job, or the death of someone close to you. Therapy can’t make this go away, and in some cases can get in the way of a grieving process and hinder our own coping strategies.
Usually with time, we can start to accept changes. But if not, you might find therapy helpful. It might be useful to discuss this with your GP.
We also offer employment support for people getting treatment from our service.
