The AccEPT clinic
Accessing evidence-based psychological therapies
AccEPT
offers psychological treatments for people with severe and recurrent
depression. The clinic specialises in psychological therapies that are
supported by evidence and recommended by the National Institutes of
Clinical Excellence. These include cognitive behavioural therapy for
those who are currently depressed and mindfulness based cognitive
therapy to help people with a history of depression stay free from
depression. Many of these treatments are conducted in group sessions,
allowing more people access to treatment and bringing the added benefit
of service-users being able to share their experiences with others.

An estimated 3.5 million people in the UK suffer from depression. Many are seeking ways to manage their illness in the long-term and want psychological approaches that can make a real difference to their lives. The Clinic is research-led, which means our staff are committed to developing treatments that are based on evidence. Our goal is to try and improve short- and long-term treatment outcomes for people who suffer from severe and recurring depression. Our particular aim is to make high quality psychological treatments for depression available to as many local people as possible.
