Adult Psychological Therapies Service (South Kirklees)

Most of the services have been horrendous and unhelpful. They really need a big improvement to make a positive difference

I've been coming here for a long time. Staff are always sympathetic and listen to my problems. I get support from CLEAR too.

Talking to someone who understands helps me to understand what's going on inside me. one to one support has been very helpful

Group therapy has really helped me - I'm on a mindfulness course for 12 weeks and it just helps to know I'm not the only one feeling like this. Being with other people helps.
The time it takes to be seen is not great. My first appointment was in February and I didn't see a psychologist until June.

I waited 1 year for an appointment, after 3 'assessment' sessions, I was sent to group therapy(a room of 20 patients and 1 psychiatrist). They were trying to save money but I just wanted them to 'save' me. 2 years later and I'm still no better and I've had to pay for private care.
