Due to the current government guidelines around COVID-19, all Talking Therapies appointments will be carried out by telephone and if appropriate online and video therapy.

The Talking Therapies service is for people over the age of 16 years, who are registered with a GP in the Bury area.

We offer support and treatment for those who are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, low mood / depression, stress, worry or anxiety, feelings of hopelessness or panic attacks.

It can also help those dealing with the effects of a long-term health problem or chronic pain, Post Natal Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, phobias, or disordered eating.

With help and support, these feelings and symptoms can be managed, guiding you to a successful recovery.

You will be contacted by text message or letter once your referral has been processed.

The service is delivered by a range of professionals including therapists and counsellors, who will find a level of treatment that is right for you. This could be a group workshop, an online or telephone based course of self-help treatment, or an individual therapy session.

We also offer specialist treatment such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and IPT (Interpersonal Therapy).

If you are currently receiving treatment from a specialist mental health service (such as a community mental health team) or are accessing therapy through somebody else, please speak to your care coordinator or therapist about additional support.
