Long term neurological conditions psychology service 

We see people aged over 18 years old living in the Hastings and Rother area with a diagnosis of either Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis and who require targeted psychological support and/or therapy relating to their illness. Examples of these difficulties might include:

• Low mood
• Anxiety
• Adjustment to condition
• Adapting to changes in functioning
• Bereavement.

After receiving your referral, we will offer you an appointment for an initial assessment with a psychologist. This will take about an hour. The assessment will include a discussion around your background, your current difficulties and a proposed plan for psychological therapy sessions. You may be asked to complete some brief questionnaires.  

If you’re suitable and would like to work with us, we will support you with up to 10 regular one-to-one appointments to help you through your current difficulties.

If you are in crisis and need to see someone immediately, please contact your GP who will arrange for the local Crisis Response Team to come out and see you, or visit your local A&E department and you will be seen by a psychiatric liaison nurse.

You can also contact the Sussex Mental Healthline on 0800 0309 500.

We are open Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm.
