If you are a veteran of any of H.M. armed forces and you are experiencing psychological distress as a result of your service to your country, you are entitled to certain rights of access to psychological interventions through the NHS.

Despite the fact that there are lengthy waiting lists for such services, there is Department of Health guidance that states that veterans should be prioritised for accessing therapy.

If you are faced with being placed on a waiting list, this information may help you to access the psychological therapies to which you are entitled. You would be advised to explore these avenues with your G.P. prior to engaging in private therapy.

If you are still having difficulty in accessing help, please refer to the links opposite for further guidance - or if you would like to discuss this further, please contact us.
