Let’s Talk – Wellbeing is available in Nottingham City, Nottinghamshire, Leicester City and Leicestershire and Rutland. The service provides psychological assessment and treatment (talking therapies) for common mental health problems, which 1 in 4 of us will suffer with at some stage in our lives. This includes depression, anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma and stress.

It is normal to experience changes in your mood and behaviour at times of stress and emotional upset. Your physical health may also affect your mood and stress levels. If these changes continue to affect you, then the Let’s Talk-Wellbeing service could help.

Treatment
