Here for you

A free and confidential NHS service

We all experience times when we feel like we can’t cope, sometimes this can start to affect our everyday lives and prevent us from doing the things we normally do.

If you are suffering from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, excessive worry or low mood, then we can help.

Vita health Group works in partnership with the NHS Talking Therapies to offer a range of short-term psychological therapies, previously known as IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) to adults 16-years and over.

NHS Talking Therapies is a FREE service and you don’t need to visit a GP to get help –  the options for referring to the service are below.
