Milton Keynes Talking Therapies Service

27/04/2026

MK Talking Therapies stands in solidarity with Pink Punters following the devastating fire this weekend. Our thoughts are with the staff, community, and everyone affected. Pink Punters has long been a valued partner in promoting mental health, including our joint campaign in May 2017 when our team visited the nightclub to support wellbeing in the LGBTQ+ community. We’re with you as you rebuild.

🖤 Powerful moments from our Black History Month event at MKUH Academic Centre (Oct 25) — a heartfelt space where staff and service users came together to explore mental health in Black men.

This is just the beginning. Next year’s theme: Black Women and Mental Health — and we’re already building toward it.

We’re saddened to share that our building has been deliberately targeted with eggs twice this week. This behaviour is not only distressing for our team but also impacts the safe and welcoming environment we strive to provide for our patients.

If you witnessed anything suspicious near our premises or have any information that could help identify those responsible, please contact the police on 101, quoting crime reference number INC-20251015-1056 / 43250526673.

Your support means a lot to us. Let’s work together to keep our community safe and respectful 💙

Did you know that menopause has been linked to an increased risk developing of depression or experiencing anxiety? 🧠

While menopause isn’t a mental health condition, it can take a huge toll on your mental health. Hormone changes can lead to symptoms of low mood, anxiety, stress and irritability.

Someone going through menopause with a pre-existing mental health condition can also find their symptoms worsened by the physical changes that come with menopause.

As an NHS mental health service, we’re here to help.

You can submit a self-referral online and speak to one of our trained NHS clinicians during a 30 minute assessment.

We have a range of different treatment options within our service including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) on a 1:1, online or group basis.
