About this service
We are a specialist psychological therapies service, for British armed forces veterans across Greater Manchester and Lancashire. We are a locally commissioned service hosted by Pennine Care.
Our team is overseen by a consultant counselling psychologist and includes: Clinical psychologists, cognitive behavioural therapists, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) practitioners, cognitive analytic therapy therapists (CAT), a highly specialist substance misuse nurse, leading the Co-occurring Mental Health and Alcohol and Drugs pathway and employment placement support workers.
All of our team understand armed forces culture.
We appreciate that some veterans find it difficult to access support so, as a way to improve the service and build confidence, we ensure that a number of our staff are veterans themselves - or have family members in the forces.
We also work alongside a number of veterans who have been through our service to help us to continually improve the MVS.
