Waiting Well

Support is on the way

We understand that waiting for talking therapy can feel challenging, particularly after taking the important step of reaching out for support. You are not alone in feeling this way, and it is completely natural to want help as soon as possible.

While you are waiting, there are a number of helpful self-help resources, local support services, and practical strategies that you can access right away. These can offer guidance, reassurance, and small steps to help you manage how you are feeling day to day. Exploring these options may also help you feel more prepared and supported ahead of your assessment or treatment.

Support is on the way, and in the meantime, we encourage you to make use of the resources below to help you through this period.
