Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s talking therapy service changes name as part of national rebranding




A county talking therapy service for mental health has been given a new name in line with a national rebrand.

Steps2change, a service offered by Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, will now be known as NHS Lincolnshire Talking Therapies.

With the tagline ‘for anxiety and depression’, the new name hopes to make it easier for people to understand what help and support the service offers and be consistent with similar services across the country.

Claire Hancox, service manager for NHS Lincolnshire Talking Therapies, said: “The rebrand is part of a national decision that will see all Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services in the country adopting the NHS Talking Therapies name.

“We may have a new name but it will be business as usual as we look to help people in Lincolnshire experiencing common mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression, through talking therapy, as well as providing employment advice to assist people to return to work.”

The only change will be the name and people already accessing the service will not experience anything different in terms of the care they receive.

How people access the service will also remain unchanged.

This means anyone aged 16 and over and experiencing issues such as anxiety, depression and stress can be referred to the service through their GP, or they can self-refer on the Lincolnshire Talking Therapies website.

Anyone who wishes to refer themselves can do so online at https://www.lincolnshiretalkingtherapies.nhs.uk/home.

People can also call 0303 123 4000 or by contacting their GP.
