Mental Health

​

We provide an extensive range of clinics to promote mental wellbeing.

​

We can help you access an experienced team of counsellors and psychologists who are able to provide a range of talking therapies.

​

You can also self-refer to local mental health services for counselling or talking therapies:-

​

• Counselling provided by Westminster MIND.

• Relationship Counselling provided by Tavistock Relationships.

• Talking Therapies provided by CNWL IAPT.

 

We can also access clinics run by psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses who are able to see people with more complex mental health conditions.

 

We invite patients with severe and enduring mental illnesses or more complex mental health conditions to have a mental health care plan package of appointments which includes an assessment of physical health by a health care assistant, followed by a holistic mental health review by a doctor.

Mental Health Crisis Assessment Service (MHCAS) now open to walk-in

Residents can now walk in to CNWL’s Mental Health Crisis Assessment Service (MHCAS) at St Charles Hospital in Kensington and Chelsea. Based at St Charles Hospital in Kensington and Chelsea, the service is open 24/7 and provides a calm, therapeutic alternative to visiting an emergency department.

This service is available to anyone aged 18 or over experiencing mental health difficulties, who does not require urgent physical health treatment, and resides in Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster, Brent, Harrow or Hillingdon.

MHCAS is a calm environment where you can talk to professionals about your mental health. The experience of coming to the centre may feel upsetting, but people should feel welcome and cared for at all times. You will be seen by a specialist nurse soon after arriving. We want you to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. There will also be food, hot drinks and snacks available.

Where appropriate, you may be referred for follow up psychological interventions, or to voluntary sector services near to your home, as well as other services to meet your individual needs.

You can also contact your community mental health team or call our single point of access line 24/7 for support and advice on 0800 0234 650. Visit this page to find out more.
