How do I access Talking Therapies employment support?
If you’re accessing the Talking Therapies service, you are able to book in with our Employment Advisor team.
Your Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) will ask you about employment support in your initial assessment. If you think you would benefit from employment support, please let your PWP know and they will book you in with an advisor.
