One in four adults and one in 10 children experience mental illness, and many more of us know and care for people who do.

We are here to help you. You can book online or call the practice on 0191 488 3200 during our opening hours, to arrange an appointment to discuss your mental health needs, and ways you can get access to further support.

Alternatively, if you need to speak to a professional urgently at anytime of day, call this NHS Mental Health Helpline:
