However different their methods, what tends to matter most is how you feel with the person, so it is worth having a first conversation with one or two before deciding.

Getting there

Hackney has no Tube, but it is well served by the Overground, with stations at Hackney Central, Hackney Downs, Homerton, Dalston Junction and Haggerston. Hackney Downs also has trains to Liverpool Street. Buses run along Mare Street, Kingsland Road and Lower Clapton Road. If you need step-free access, ask the therapist before your first session.

Free therapy on the NHS: City and Hackney Talking Therapies

If you live in Hackney or the City of London, or are registered with a GP there, you can refer yourself to City and Hackney Talking Therapies, the free NHS service that used to be called Talk Changes. You don't need to see your GP first: you can refer yourself on their website, cityandhackneytalkingtherapies.homerton.nhs.uk. It offers short, structured therapy for common problems such as anxiety and depression. If you would like longer-term therapy, or to choose your own therapist, private therapy is the other route.

If you need urgent help, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option, or call 999 in an emergency.
