Talking Therapies

Talking therapies, or psychological therapies, are effective and confidential treatments delivered by fully trained NHS practitioners. They can help with common mental health problems like stress, anxiety and depression.

You can access talking therapies for free on the NHS.

If you are local to Tameside and would like to try talking therapy, we advise contacting NHS Tameside & Glossop Talking Therapies on 0161 716 4242.

If you are outside Tameside, please visit the NHS website for more information on how to access talking therapies free on the NHS.

Talking therapy is for anyone who is going through a bad time or has emotional problems they need help with. For many adults it may be the same or more effective than medicine. Visit the NHS website for more information on the benefits of talking therapy.

There are lots of different types of talking therapy, but they all involve working with a trained therapist. This may be either one-to-one, in a group, online, over the phone, with your family, or with your partner. Visit the NHS website for more information on the types of talking therapy.
