Mental Health Practitioner

Our expert Mental Health Nurse provides mental health support, advice and onward referral for adults registered at our GP Practices. The Mental Health Nurse works in close partnership with the GP Practices and with local mental health and other support services to support patients with mild to moderate mental health difficulties.

PCN Mental Health Practitioners do not offer counselling, but can refer you to counselling services if this is the best option for you.

The Mental Health Practitioners also work closely with PCN Social Prescribing Link Workers, and Health & Wellbeing Coaches for Children & Young People, to offer support to patients with mental health difficulties.

When you contact your GP Practice, you may be booked an appointment with a Mental Health Practitioner if this is the best person to help you. At this time, you cannot book yourself in directly.
