Mental health support
You do not have to manage this alone
Choose the kind of help you need. Support is available for anxiety, low mood, depression, stress and urgent mental health difficulties.
Urgent mental health help
If there is an immediate risk to life, call 999 or go to A&E now.
For urgent mental health support at any time, call NHS 111 and select mental health option 2. You will be connected to a trained mental health professional.
Support from The Quays Practice
Contact us if anxiety, low mood, depression, stress or sleep problems are affecting your daily life. A clinician can assess your needs and discuss treatment or referral options.
Not for emergencies: use NHS 111 mental health option 2 for urgent help, or 999 if there is immediate danger.
NHS talking therapies
NHS-funded psychological therapies can help with anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, trauma and related difficulties.
