About us

Doncaster Talking Therapies, Rotherham Talking Therapies and North Lincs Talking Therapies offer support for common mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety.

We see thousands of people every year who are struggling with how they are feeling. If you are feeling low, stressed, worried, anxious or are no longer doing things you used to enjoy, we can help.

Service information

More information about your local Talking Therapies team and how to get in touch can be found on their pages:


Getting support

We know that asking for help can sometimes be difficult, so we have made it as easy as possible to access Talking Therapies. Here is what you can expect when you get in touch with us:

  1. Refer into the service: You can self-refer to your local Talking Therapies service by telephone or via one of our online self-referral forms. You can find all of our details on the contact us page. You can also be referred by your GP, or by another healthcare professional.
  2. Book an assessment: Once we have received your referral, we will contact you to arrange your first appointment with a member of the Talking Therapies team.
  3. Your first appointment: You will have an appointment with one of our clinicians to discuss your mental health and how we can best support you going forward. If we feel that Talking Therapies is not the best service to best support you, we can put you in contact with other organisations who will be able to help.
  4. Treatment begins: We will start with your treatment, which will be the treatment most appropriate for you and your needs. This can take place in person, over the telephone, on a video call or through our text messaging app. The treatment we offer ranges from guided self-help to high intensity cognitive behavioural therapy.

Online self-referral

You can self-refer into our service online by using one of our self-referral forms. Just select the area you live in and where your registered GP is based.

Confidentiality

We observe strict NHS standards of confidentiality and you have control over who else is involved in your care.

During an assessment, a practitioner will ask whether or not you consent for us to share information with other services.
