At TALKWORKS, we recognise that every person has a different experience in what they are going through and how they are feeling. You might be feeling low in mood, struggling with sleep or experiencing stress and anxiety. Or you might not really know what's going on, but just need someone to talk to. We're a free-to-access NHS Talking Therapies Service for adults aged 18+ across Devon (excluding Plymouth) and are here to help you get back on track.
We know that it is not always easy to seek support. We therefore try to make our therapy as flexible and as accessible as possible, by offering a range of approaches and talking therapies to help get your life back on track.
Treatment and support can be carried out in the form of 1-to-1 sessions with a therapist (available face-to-face at various locations across Devon, including our team bases, over the phone or by video call). We also offer wellbeing workshops, interactive group courses and online self-help via Silvercloud (available 24 hours a day).

Please don’t feel that you have to hit ‘rock bottom’ to seek help from TALKWORKS. Whether you are feeling a bit ‘off’ and can’t quite put your finger on the problem, or your low mood, anxiety or stress are affecting your everyday life and leaving you feeling helpless, we have a team on hand to help you. All of our therapies and treatments are provided by qualified NHS clinicians. You will never be judged when you come to see us - you will be listened to, you will be heard, and we will work with you to try and help you feel more like yourself again.
