Long term psychotherapy under NHS Trust

[Nicola]

I am looking for an NHS Trust in the UK that offers long term (12 months+) psychotherapy for patients with CPTSD. Does anyone know if this exists?

There is a NHS waiting list in my area that is 2 years long. I don't know about how long they will offer therapy for, but just getting access seems to be an issue for the nhs. Private therapy is different story.

No NHS trust in the UK offers long term therapy. Your lucky if you got 10 sessions from them. You will have to go private. Some charities offer reduced rate. Good luck!

There is one in the country, to get it you'd need your ICB of your local trust to agree to fund a referral, and normally to get that you have to have 'proven' that your needs can't be met by any secondary service in your local trust. Its definitely not an easy process

I can't afford therapy privately or the insurance to pay for it.

I got about a year and a half if i remember right of specialised trauma therapy in glasgow. Was about a 2 year wait though

A year and a half specialised trauma therapy sounds great. Was it enough to get you on a better path and independent from needing therapy?

Yeah thanks. Ive been relatively stable since. Most of the details are in my diary if i mind right. Just so i dont hijack the thread.

But its defo possible to get long term trauma therapy in at least 3 nhs trusts i know of (humberside, Glasgow and another one in Scotland that is too small for me to wanna disclose).

I will say i had to do the obligatory 10 sessions of cbt first, some dbt, some standard counselling appointments before they look at the tertiary services for owt specialised.
