COVID-19 Updates

Please be aware that there may be some disruption to services over the coming weeks and months.  We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. 

New referrals

Self referral is currently open. The service is operating as normal offering for both in-person and remote appointments.  We may be able to offer remote appointments slightly more quickly than in-person appointments, but please discuss any concerns with your therapist. 

Contact methods

For remote appointments, we are using either telephone or video conferencing via Teams or Attend Anywhere, which is a secure video platform that the Trust has identified. 

We will also be offering group treatments using Teams.

Please let us know if you are unwell or unable to attend your appointment so we can rearrange your appointment accordingly.  

You can contact the service by phone on 0300 300 0055 or via email at the following address: SPAtalkingtherapies@cpft.nhs.uk

Please accept our apology if there is a delay responding to emails.
