We are a unique NHS mental health trust, internationally-renowned for our specialist clinicians, who range from psychotherapists and psychologists to nurses and social workers.
As an organisation we have existed since 1920 and have been an influential and pioneering centre in the world of talking therapies ever since.
We are leaders in our field, covering a very wide range of expertise, and employ many respected professionals who have much experience of working with the media: including television, radio, print and online. This is why we are often the first port of call for journalists looking for the opinion of a mental health expert.
