East Midlands

CBT therapy across the East Midlands

The East Midlands has well-established Talking Therapies services in each of its main cities, and a growing private-practice community concentrated around Nottingham, Leicester, Derby and the Peak District towns.

NHS services include Trent PTS, Vita Health Nottinghamshire, Vita Health Leicestershire, Trent Psychological Therapies Service in Derbyshire, Steps2Change in Lincolnshire, and Changing Minds in Northamptonshire. Self-referral is the norm; waits are typically 3–8 weeks to assessment.

Private fees in the East Midlands are some of the most affordable in England — £65–£90 is normal in 2026, with university cities at the higher end. The region has unusually good provision of group CBT for social anxiety and OCD, often easier to get into than 1:1.
