Struggling to access support? You’re not alone.
We’ve had a number of questions about what to do when private treatment isn’t accessible, or when you’re told your needs are “too complex” for NHS services.
First, we want to say this clearly:
That experience can feel incredibly disheartening. And you deserve support.
While it can feel like doors are closing, there are still options:
- Charities and organisations across the UK offer support for a wide range of needs
- Some NHS pathways and specialist services may still be available, it can help to explore what “complexity” means in your situation
- An assessment (with a service like ours) can sometimes help clarify next steps and signpost you to appropriate care
- Reaching back out to your NHS team for further conversation can open up different routes
- Free support spaces, like our monthly Nurturing Hope, offer a place to feel less alone in recovery
We know these options aren’t always the same as consistent treatment. But you are not without support - even if it feels that way right now.
If you’re recognising yourself in this, you can reach out to us via the link in our bio to book a confidential call. We’re here to listen and help you explore your options.
