Hertfordshire & Mid Essex Talking Therapies

Hertfordshire & Mid Essex Talking Therapies provide access to a range of talking therapy treatments.

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) provides access to primary care psychological therapy services through Hertfordshire Wellbeing and Health in Mind (Mid Essex IAPT). Hertfordshire Wellbeing and Health in Mind are part of the NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) initiative, offering free and confidential talking therapy and practical support for Hertfordshire and Mid Essex residents. We use talking therapies to work with anxiety disorders and depression. Anxiety and depression are normal emotions which we all experience, but can sometimes become excessive or distressing. Conditions we treat include low mood, worry and sadness, stress and panic, and repetitive negative thoughts. If any of these reflect what you’re experiencing, you can quickly refer yourself for assessment. Our team of experienced therapists will work with you to understand your challenges and put in place tools and techniques to manage difficult feelings. Groups eligible for these services include older people, carers, those affected by a long-term physical health condition, and those in the perinatal period
