We’re committed to delivering professional, prompt and confidential therapy when and where it’s needed. We break down the barriers to accessing mental health support, empowering you to develop the skills to manage your emotional and psychological health in the way that works best for you.

One in four people in the UK experience a mental health problem at some point that affects their daily life, relationships or physical health. Mental health problems can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, gender or social background. Without care and treatment, mental health problems can have a serious effect on an individual and those around them.

We provide a free, confidential, non-judgemental service available to the people of Thurrock regardless of sex, age, ethnic origin and sexual orientation.

You can refer yourself directly to a psychological therapies service (IAPT) without seeing your GP. These services offer therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), for common problems including: stress, anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and phobias
