Guided Self Help

Guided and pure self-help sessions provide you with the skills to give you control back and become your own therapist for a wide range of conditions.

The programme has a delivery method to suit all, including effective self-help books, as well as graded exposure to a feared situation alongside a supportive volunteer mentor for people who experience difficulties with anxiety and phobias. The Living Life to the Full computer programme offers a mixture of videos and audio clips to give an alternative, more visual perspective known as cCBT (computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). If computers aren’t your thing, don’t worry! We have volunteer mentors available to help with using Living Life to the Full if you have any difficulties using technology.

Personal Budgets

For each person we work with, we create a support plan designed to help you achieve the personal goals you set yourself.

We can meet with you flexibly at times that suit you. We will provide a happy and empowering environment in which to encourage recovery and wellbeing.

Our experienced team will provide the support you need. You will get to know the people who are working with you, and they will help motivate you and keep track of your goals to make sure you achieve them.

Crisis pad

When in emotional distress, it’s important to have a place to go to help keep you safe. Our Crisis Pad does just that.

The Crisis Pad is run in collaboration with Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust for adults over the age of 18. The Crisis Pad is run from our offices at Wellington House, 108 Beverley Road, Hull, HU3 1YA.

It is a safe place where people can go if they are struggling with their mental health or may need support to help keep themselves safe. People have the option to be supported one to one or as part of a peer support group through a range of different methods. All support is provided in a person centered way suited to the needs of the individual.

The crisis pad is open during the following hours:

Operates 7 days a week from 6pm to 2am.

This is a referral only service and is available as part of the support available via the Mental Health Advice and Support line. You can contact the line on 0800 138 0990.

Dealing with a bereavement

If you have experienced bereavement within the last year and are struggling to manage or come to terms with the loss, then our team can help you by providing a listening ear and one to one emotional support.

We can provide you with support in your own home or somewhere that is convenient for you*. Typically, our support for bereavement lasts for six months, but we will also help you to access other support if you need more help.

Our specialist mental health support is designed around what you need. Support may include:

  • Emotional support and reassurance using theories and models of bereavement
  • Practical support – signposting, help with arrangements, accompanying to appointments
  • Creative emotional support, for example memory boxes and craft ideas
  • Therapeutic support – resources and advice around stress control and anxiety management, either individually or in a group setting.

*This specific support is currently only available to people living in the East Riding, however if you have been recently bereaved you may still find support within one of our other services.
