Our mental health and wellbeing programmes work with your general practice team to support you.

If you’re struggling with your mental health, you may be able to access up to five free sessions to assess what’s going on for you, give you treatment and refer you to specialist services if needed.

Brief Intervention Talking Therapy (BITT) is a non-urgent service for people over 16 years old who need short-term support with their mental wellbeing.

It is a private and confidential process that allows you to talk with an experienced mental health clinician. The clinician will work with you to find coping strategies that are helpful and lasting. For many people, the most helpful thing about BITT is talking to someone they can trust and come up with a plan.
