Resources & Support

I understand that not everyone may be able to afford private therapy. Please be aware that CBT is available for free on the NHS via your local Talking Therapies service, although offerings may differ between areas based on their assessment of your needs.

Please speak to your GP, midwife, or health visitor about a possible referral to your local service, or search for your Local Talking Therapies team, as many offer online self-referral options. If you are pregnant or have a baby under 1 year old (under 2 in some areas), you may be seen as a priority patient.
