Types of Talking Therapies
Talking therapies are psychological treatments for mental and emotional problems like stress, anxiety and depression.
There are lots of different types of talking therapy, but they all involve working with a trained therapist.
The therapist helps you find answers to the problems you’re having.
For some problems and conditions, one type of talking therapy may be better than another.
Different talking therapies also suit different people.
We do not guarantee any person will automatically receive free NHS counselling. 8 out of every 10 applications we submit is accepted, each patient is assessed on their own merits and needs.
The average NHS counselling application takes between 8 and 12 weeks, this varies region by region.
