Extension news! Talking Therapies Plus

Our Talking Therapies Plus (TT+) service has been providing free counselling and talking therapy for Sandwell residents since October 2024. We are pleased to share that funding has been extended, enabling us to continue delivering support until the end of March 2026. Thank you to the Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for their continued support and commitment to Sandwell residents.

People can access counselling face-to-face, online or via the telephone to best suit them. Over 670 people have accessed the service to date and we maintain an average waiting time from referral into first therapy session of less than a month.

This service is designed to support people with low level mental health needs who are least likely to access mental health support (including men, people from black and asian communities, and those who face language or access barriers.)
