Your GP will know of the NHS services which are available in your area to help with mental health difficulties.
New services are also being rolled out at the moment. These are part of the National Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme. The London IAPT regional implementation team is Working for Wellness, based with Commissioning Support for London.
These services will make it easier to access Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT is an evidence based intervention which helps people with depression and anxiety disorders but please note that this is a new initiative and it is still not always easy to access these kinds of services in many places. However, more services are being rolled out every year improving access across London and the UK.
