*NHS Talking Therapy provides help to people aged 17 and over who are experiencing common mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. You do not need a “diagnosis” to access the service as they commonly see people with problems such as stress, low confidence, sleep disturbance and self-esteem issues. There is no upper age limit for people accessing this service.
