Psychology service

Phychology

City and Hackney's primary care psychology service is aimed at improving the psychological health and wellbeing of patients. We provide a range of psychological therapies for adult (18 years or over) residents of City and Hackney who suffer from mental health problems, such as:

  • Adjusting to negative life events
  • Panic attacks
  • Phobias
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Medically unexplained symptoms
  • Coping with medical conditions

Sessions are offered in the form of individual, group and self-help, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT). CBT uses a practical approach with patients to help them make links between how they're feeling, how they're thinking (their cognitions) and what they're doing (their behaviours).

 

Referrals

Referrals can be made by GPs. Patients are not currently able to self-refer, however the service is working towards this being available in the future.

 

Opening hours

Monday to Friday 9.00am - 5.00pm. (Limited evening slots may be available.)

 

Contact details

The service is provided at St Leonard's Hospital and most GP practices.
