Direct Access - Mental Health Assessment

If you are struggling with your mood or with stress and wish to speak to someone about it, you can book one of our ‘I want to speak to a counsellor” appointments online or via our reception team. Appointments are available Monday and Wednesday.

These are short telephone appointments like one you would normally have with your doctor. During this appointment, the counsellor will discuss with you suitable treatment options and refer you or inform you how to access psychological support.

You do not need to speak to a GP first. You can book your appointment with the counsellor directly. Our counsellors will be able to help you with psychological, emotional, and mental health issues. You would need to talk to your GP if you have any medical concerns.

You can also choose to self-refer for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Wandsworth IAPT team.
