If you are an adult or young person seeking help for yourself, then the information in this section will enable you to get the help you need.
It can feel daunting talking to someone about a mental health issue or problems with emotional well-being. However, these kinds of problems are surprisingly common – it is estimated that one in four adults have significant emotional difficulties at any one time.
There is a great deal of research to show that talking treatments are very effective for a range of emotional problems. The government's health body that identifies good practice, NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence), recommends talking treatments for a range of emotional problems including depression, anxiety, phobias, obsessions, eating disorders and compulsions.
We offer services at our centres and in the community through related health and voluntary agency settings. These services cover problems such as:
- a situational crisis such as bereavement, divorce or unemployment
- problems following difficult early life experiences
- traumatic events
- depression
- stress and anxiety
- obsessive-compulsive disorder
- difficulties in maintaining relationships, or repetitive interpersonal difficulties
We also offer a range of more specialist services for those who have particular needs. This includes:
- a service for doctors and dentists
- a service for those in need of specialist treatment following a traumatic event, whether this was recent or in the past
- services for those with severe character difficulties, which may include chaotic self-destructive lifestyles
- services for individuals who have more severe psychological disorders such as affective disorder or manic depression, psychotic episodes or borderline personality disorder
- criminal or violent behaviour
- sexual compulsions
- a service offering help within GP surgeries based in City and Hackney
You can call one of our administrators to access these services. Alternatively you can contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service.
