The Trust’s Let’s Talk – Wellbeing service provides patients across Nottingham City and parts of Nottinghamshire, and Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland with psychological assessment and treatment (talking therapies) for common mental health problems.

Megan Dixon, Trainee Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, is one of the team offering telephone support for people experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. She says that while the problems patients speak to her about haven’t essentially changed over the last few months, they have clearly been exacerbated by the isolation people are feeling.
