Free NHS Talking Therapies: Support Available in City & Hackney

At the Women’s Health and Wellbeing Event at Beis Chana, Chizuk met with representatives from NHS City and Hackney Talking Therapies, who shared information about their free and confidential mental health support. The service helps people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress and other emotional difficulties.

How Does It Work?

You can contact the service directly without needing a GP referral.

The first appointment is usually a telephone assessment, where a professional will listen to your concerns and discuss what support may be helpful.

One option is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps people understand how their thoughts, feelings and behaviours affect one another, and develop practical ways of managing difficulties.

Therapy may be available by telephone, online or face to face, depending on individual needs.

How to Get in Touch

The service is free for people living in City & Hackney or registered with a local GP.
