Harrow Talking Therapies are part of the national NHS ‘Improving Access to Psychological Therapies’ (IAPT) service within the Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust. We provide a range of talking therapies for people who feel anxious and worried or down and depressed.
If you think you might be anxious or depressed, then you can refer yourself by giving us a call, sending us an email, or using our online self-referral form. Or if you prefer, you can ask your GP, or any health professional, about the service and they can refer you to us. If English is not your first language we will provide interpreters, including British Sign Language interpreters for all your appointments.

If your total score is more than 3 then you may benefit from talking therapies. You can self-refer to our services by clicking the button below.
Self-referring if you are an NHS member of staff: If you are a CNWL or NHS Staff member and would like to self-refer, please self-refer through the borough in which you work and indicate clearly that you are CNWL or NHS staff in the referral.
