How do I know if I need help?
At milder levels symptoms can be hard to spot. A referral to our service could make a huge difference:
We also help people with some long-term physical health conditions, as well as those with problems sleeping as both can have a significant impact on how you feel.
Taking early action to improve your emotional health prevents symptoms worsening and means quicker access to treatment. Many people find that just having an initial conversation with one of our team can be extremely helpful.
We know asking for help can feel like a big decision, but it could be the best decision you make. Our advice is to not wait. Get in touch with us today. Our team are ready to help you make positive changes.
