Honest about waiting

You see up front how long it takes

Waiting is hard, especially when you do not know where you stand. That is why our waiting times are here, per location, and why we keep in touch every four weeks while you wait.

How to come to us

In three calm steps

  1. A referral from your GP

    Your GP states whether it is basic or specialised mental healthcare. You may also talk to the mental health practice nurse first.

  2. Register

    The intake guide shows in two minutes whether we suit you and what to have ready. Prefer to call? You can on weekday mornings.

  3. Intake, then treatment

    In the intake conversation we look together at what you need and who suits you. Then your treatment starts with one regular clinician.

While you wait, you hear from us every four weeks. Nobody waits in silence here.

What we treat

What we help with

Short-term where possible, longer where needed. And if we are not the best place for you, we say so honestly and help you find where to go.

What we do and do not treat
  • Anxiety

    Panic, worry, social anxiety and phobias.

  • Depression

    Low mood that does not lift, including after a loss or burnout.

  • Trauma and stress

    Problems after a distressing event.

  • OCD

    Obsessive thoughts and compulsions.

  • Personality

    Long-standing patterns in how you think, feel and relate to others.

  • Other problems

    For example adjustment problems or physical complaints with a psychological side.
