How’s your New Year and 2017 so far? If you’re not feeling as happy as you would like to be and would like someone to talk to, why not give Access Sefton a call this winter?

The time after the festive period can often feel like an anti-climax and leave you feeling low. Speak to your local, friendly NHS service for advice and support on how to handle the January blues.

Access Sefton provides help for people experiencing a wide range of common mild to moderate mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and stress, as well as other common mental health conditions such as Obsessional Compulsive Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Services include face to face or telephone consultations and workshops to people aged 16-plus who live in Sefton and are available from a number of accessible locations across the borough. The service is delivered in partnership by Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) and Insight Healthcare on behalf of the borough’s two clinical commissioning groups, NHS South Sefton CCG and NHS Southport and Formby CCG.

If you need to speak to someone, getting access to the service is easy – ask your GP or self-refer online here.

You can also pick up the phone and call 0151 955 3200 to arrange an appointment. We offer a wide range of talking therapy treatments from a number of convenient locations across the borough of Sefton, as well as online or over the phone.
