Specialist CBT therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression and more in West London

North West London's own July 2024 Mental Health Strategy explicitly states an estimated 30% under-diagnosis rate for depression in the region. Research from King's College London found roughly half of people with depression nationally are never formally diagnosed, with an average delay of up to 8 years.
