Free mental health support for adults.

Supported self-help is a free, 6-week guided programme. Through the programme, you will be given the materials to understand and manage your feelings, and your practitioner will call you regularly to provide support.

You don’t need a GP referral to sign up for supported self-help.

This is a one-to-one guided self-help service, not a counselling service. But our practitioners do use counselling based skills in their support. It incorporates some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) style tools but also provides other kinds of support.

Supported self-help is not an emergency service. If you, or the person you are with are at immediate risk, go to your nearest A&E or call 999.

How does it work?

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll get in touch to talk about the challenges you’re facing. If supported self-help is right for you, together we’ll agree a programme of support. This can cover any of the following:

Who is it for?

• Adults over 18 years old
• You can be on a waiting list for mental health support however, it is not suitable if you are already in therapy. We would be happy to accept you once you have completed it though.
• Supported self-help is a service for anyone who feels their emotions are getting on top of them no matter what the challenges are that you’re facing.
• It works to help prevent emotions getting on top of you in the future and reduce their impact on day to day life.
• You don’t need to have a diagnosed mental health condition to access this service. If you have different needs, your practitioner will put you in touch with other services that might be able to help.
