The Camden branch of NHS Talking Therapies forms part of a Camden Psychological Therapies Partnership. Together with Age UK, the Camden, City, Islington and Westminster Bereavement Service, Nafsiyat, Ieso and Women and Health the Camden Psychological Therapies Partnership is commissioned to provide a range of evidence-based therapy services for people registered with a Camden GP.
The Counselling, Psychotherapy & Group Therapy Services at Age UK Camden have been providing psychological therapy to older adults in Camden for nearly 22 years. The services provide time-limited therapy to people 55 and over who are registered with a Camden GP practice.
Our therapists are familiar with the upheaval that life transitions, which are likely to happen to people 55 and over, can cause to our emotions and feelings, like changes in work and family situations, health issues, etc.
The services respect and support diversity in all aspects, including people of all ethnic and cultural groups and LGBT+. Therapy is also available to housebound people and those living with dementia in the early stages or presenting with memory issues.
The services are an organisational member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their Code of Ethics and recommended good practice.
People can self-refer to Age UK directly or be referred by their GP or other organisations or professionals. To self-refer, email counselling@ageukcamden.org.uk or phone 020 72390400. People can also be referred via iCope.
