NHS CPFT Psychological Skills Service

What to Expect
THIS SERVICE IS BY PROFESSIONAL REFERRAL ONLY

Referral to The Psychological Skills Service is initially via your GP who will arrange an assessment by a mental health practitioner, either online or in person. Once you have been referred, a member of the team will contact you with a view to establishing the type of therapy and set of psychological skills which are going to be most useful for you and your specific set of challenges. You will be offered 8 sessions which may take place in person, on-line or a combination of both, depending on the type of help deemed best for you.

More Information
The service’s own webpage has broader information about session content in their ‘What Does the PSS Offer’ dropdown section and also practical information, such as parking facilities and how to contact them in the event that you cannot attend, in their ‘Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)’ drop down.

Other information for support on mental health can be found at Keep Your Head website

Other support that you can contact and refer yourself to (without a professional referral) can be found in the self referral section of the How Are You East Cambs Website : https://hayeastcambs.co.uk/find-support/mental-health-self-refer/

This service is free to access.
