Mental Health and Wellbeing Support

The service, which is usually offered face-to-face in the practice, is still running during the COVID-19 pandemic but now largelytakes place over the phone*. If you would like support with your mental health or wellbeing at this time and would like to access this service, you can self-refer via email or telephone - see 'How to Self-Refer' below.

*Face-to-face sessions are available for:

• those unable to speak openly at home due to risk of abuse
• those with hearing difficulties
• those with learning disabilities or other needs that might make communication via phone challenging.

If you would like to receive a face-to-face session for any of the reasons above, please state this when self-referring.
