Self-referral

NHS Lanarkshire provides a range of health services that you can contact directly for help, without going through your GP. Our self-referral services give patients a direct route to the health professional best placed to help them.

It can be difficult to understand and open up about how we feel, particularly when we are struggling with our mental health. We all have mental health. It’s OK not to be OK and it’s OK to ask for help, you are not alone. Opening up to a trusted adult may help and there are also other people to speak to or tools that you might find useful. 

Talking therapies, or psychological therapies, are effective and confidential treatments delivered by fully trained and accredited NHS practitioners. They can help with common mental health problems like stress, anxiety and depression.
