The psychological therapies provided by the HSC Staff Psychological Therapies Service are evidence-based and provided by trained clinicians—i.e. are approaches that have been rigorously researched and shown to be effective in helping people manage and recover from a range of psychological difficulties.
The number of sessions offered will vary depending on the nature and severity of the difficulties a person is experiencing. Therapy may be brief or longer term and typically ranges from between 8 to 25 sessions—depending on need.
Psychological therapy appointments are available during normal working hours (9–5). If you think you might benefit from therapy but are unsure what it involves, please watch this short video How talking therapies work – BBC.
