I am sorry that you are unhappy with the therapy offered by Health Minds.

The NHS Healthy Minds Service (West Essex IAPT) provides evidence based psychological therapies (predominantly CBT – cognitive behavioural therapy) for people with anxiety and depression to help them manage everyday problems. The service aims to help patients understand why they feel this way; explore how their behaviour effects how they are feeling; and develop new ways of thinking and coping.

Patients referred to the service are assessed by an IAPT practitioner and where appropriate help is offered in a number of ways. These include workshops; self-help - printed materials and online; telephone support; and individual face to face sessions.

Should you wish to discuss your experience of the service in more detail please contact the Service Manager for NHS Healthy Minds on 0300 222 5943 (Monday to Friday 9-5).
