From 18th September The Emotional Wellbeing Service will change name to NHS East Riding Talking Therapies.

This is part of a national rebranding exercise that will see all Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services using the same name across the country. 

This doesn’t impact your mental health care and you don’t have to do anything.

Following an extensive national consultation process, NHS Talking Therapies was voted the most accessible name, and the easiest one to understand, by a wide range of staff, charities, patients and the general public. It is accompanied with a tagline ‘for anxiety and depression’ to clarify what conditions our therapies aim to treat.

The new web address is https://eastridingtalkingtherapies.humber.nhs.uk.

Our name might be changing but our service stays the same. We are still here for your mental health. This change doesn’t affect our teams or the care they provide you with. We will progressively update all our channels, including our website, and future communications from our services will come from NHS East Riding Talking Therapies. We are here to answer any questions you might have. Call 01482 335 451.

  • Summary:

    We are writing to inform you of an upcoming change in the name of our service, which we are happy to share with you today. This doesn’t impact your mental health care and you don’t have to do anything.
