# Therapy in London

Find NHS talking therapies and local peer support in London, with borough access rules, free services and guidance on therapy costs.

## What is *here*

London has local NHS talking therapy services for anxiety and depression. The [NHS service finder](https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/talking-therapies/) helps you find the service linked to your GP.

Access rules vary by borough. For example, [Ealing Talking Therapies](https://www.westlondon.nhs.uk/ealing-talking-therapies) accepts adult self-referrals from people with an Ealing GP.

[Reach Out Camden](https://reachoutcamden.co.uk/faqs/) offers peer groups and individual support for adults aged 18 or over. You need to live in Camden or have a Camden GP.

## What it *costs*

NHS talking therapies are free. Reach Out Camden also offers its support free of charge.

Private therapists set their own fees. Ask about the session price, reduced fees and cancellation charges before you book.
