Treatments
Our service offers a range of treatments that fit within 3 pathways: please select the headings below to read more about each pathway and the treatments available within them.
Our treatments are offered both face to face in Exeter or online via Zoom. You can access our Service via self-referral, GPs, Devon Alliance (VCSE), NHS Talking Therapies (IAPT), secondary care MHAT, and PCN meeting referral (i.e. primary and secondary care).
Please view each individual therapy for information on how to make a referral.

Who is this pathway for?
This is for people with more enduring and recurrent depression and anxiety and/or severe and enduring mental illness who are later in their recovery journey. People suitable for this pathway are those who are currently not presenting with disabling acute symptoms of ill mental health but show declining levels of wellbeing and functioning. This may include people who have sufficiently stable symptoms and have been discharged from secondary care, or for people who were historically held in secondary care services but now held by their GP and have a stable presentation of symptoms.
Treatments available within this pathway:
LiveMind
LiveMind is a four-session mindfulness-based course aimed at people who have experienced mental health difficulties in the past and are looking to manage and maintain their wellbeing. Adapted from 8-week evidence-based mindfulness programmes, this course aims to be more accessible for people who are interested in learning some mindfulness practices to support wellbeing, or for those who are unsure about committing to a longer course. It is a light touch introduction into Mindfulness that may support you in establishing or maintaining an existing practice or refresh any previous practice you may have.
Further information about LiveMind can be found in our LiveMind Information Leaflet
