Thank you for considering making a referral to Psychological Pathways.

We appreciate it can be difficult for people to find the right service when they are in need.

Our service is designed to support clients with mild-moderate emotional health and wellbeing needs eg anxiety, low mood etc and where a short-term intervention can be helpful. 

We appreciate that you and/or your family may be experiencing difficult challenges at this time but it is important for you to understand that we do not automatically accept all referrals we receive and we reserve the right for appropriate clinical decision making as to whether we are able to provide the correct intervention and support for you and/or your family. 

Please consider the following before completing the Referral Form:

• We are not an emergency or crisis service and are unable to respond to acute mental health needs or where longer-term interventions are required.  
• If you, or the person you are concerned about, has significant and complex mental health needs (eg suicidal thoughts or plans, eating disorder issues etc) then you/they will likely require a multidisciplinary service (including consideration of medication, input from different specialists and/or longer term therapeutic interventions).  We do not provide such a service.  Your GP is best placed to advise you on how to access such a service.    
• We do not provide assessments of Autistic Spectrum Disorder or ADHD.
• If you have any concerns about safety (your own or others) please contact your GP, Out of Hours GP, Lifeline NI (24/7) crisis helpline, 0808 808 8000 (deaf and hard of hearing Textphone users can call Lifeline on 18001 0808 808 8000).
