Early Intervention in Psychosis

The Early Intervention in Psychosis team works with young people and adults up to age 35, who are experiencing their first episode of psychosis.

Getting help quickly is really important if you're experiencing psychosis, so we'll usually offer you your first appointment with us within two weeks. We'll work with you to help you recover from psychosis and reduce your chances of experiencing more episodes. We usually try to see you in an environment where you feel comfortable.

Our team is made up of lots of different professionals with extensive experience working with people who have psychosis. You may be seen by a psychiatrist, psychologist, mental health nurse or support worker and could be supported by us for up to three years, depending on your needs.

What happens next?

If we feel our Early Intervention in Psychosis service can offer the right support for you, we'll offer you an appointment with one of the team. We may want to talk to you and a family member or carer, to help us get a clear picture of what you've been experiencing. This also helps us to make sure your family is getting the right advice and support too.

You may be offered several appointments before a decision about your ongoing care is made. We'll agree with you which service is right for your needs and arrange this for you.

Opening Times

Appointments are usually offered between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
