Welcome to the Sheffield Talking Therapies for anxiety and depression service, formerly known as IAPT.

Every year we help thousands of people in the city who are struggling with how they are feeling.

If you're feeling down, stressed, anxious, or worrying more than usual, or if you lack interest in things you once enjoyed,

We are here to help.

What support do we offer?

On this site you will find details about the range of evidence based treatment options we offer. Treatment options include courses, one-to one sessions, and online programmes. You can also access useful self help resources to improve how you feel right away. 

If you have a long term physical health condition affecting how you feel, our health and wellbeing service can help. This support is for anyone under the care of a Sheffield consultant, even if you do not live in Sheffield.

If you are having trouble at work, support is available with our employment advisors.

We can also offer helpful advice for healthcare professionals.

How do I access help?

Sheffield Talking Therapies is a self-referral service. You can self-refer using our online referral form. Or you can call us on 0114 226 4380 and speak to our friendly admin team. 

You will then receive a text message with a link to book your first telephone appointment. You can choose the most convenient day and time. We have first appointments available.

Please let us know on the referral form if you would struggle to speak on the phone or if you need any adjustments.

We are here to help if you are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed. We offer different types of NHS Talking Therapies and employment support to help you feel better. We want to empower you to make informed choices and changes that can improve your wellbeing and help you live a more fulfilling life. We are dedicated to providing a service that is inclusive, fair, and responsive to our community's diverse needs. We aim to make everyone feel valued and respected. 

I came to this service at a really low point in my life with a lot of things going on. Through my sessions I have been provided with the tools to help me with these things and be able to go on with my life, and become my own therapist in some ways. I feel in charge of my life and my head again and it is all with the help of my therapist.

I can't say enough good things about the service I received. They were very warm and welcoming. And did absolutely everything to make everyone feel at ease and make them feel in a safe place to talk. I feel more equipped to deal with my needs and taking care of myself.

The service care and understanding I was given and shown was excellent at all time. I appreciate all the care and advice I was shown. I am a very different person to the one that first walked in, and it all helped me so much. Thankyou for everything.

The therapist's attentive and non-judgemental approach made all the difference. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking emotional support and self-understanding.
