IAPT Referral
What is IAPT?
Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services provide evidence-based psychological therapies to people with anxiety disorders and depression.
Accessing the Service
We want to make access to psychological therapy as easy as possible; so we have created several ways for you to access these services.
