Our Mental Health Practitioners are here to provide support for anyone who may be struggling with their mental health. This is an ageless service – available to both younger and older patients – and covers a wide range of needs.
What They Do
Mental Health Practitioners can:
- Offer a safe, non-judgmental space to talk about what’s going on for you
- Carry out an initial assessment to understand your needs and what support will help most
- Signpost or refer you to specialist mental health services when needed
- Provide short-term interventions and follow-up appointments if appropriate
- Support your recovery by helping you access the right care at the right time
What This Means for You
With support from an MHP, you can:
- Feel listened to and understood without judgment
- Gain quicker access to the most suitable mental health service
- Get help managing difficulties before they become more serious
- Build confidence in your recovery journey with tailored support
How It Works
- Some patients may only need a one-off appointment, where advice and signposting is given.
- Others may be offered a short series of follow-up appointments to work on specific goals or coping strategies.
- If more specialist input is needed, the MHP will make sure you are connected to the right service.
