About this service
The Coves is a community-based crisis alternative service, provided by Hestia on behalf of Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust. We offer non-clinical support to people aged 16 and over who are experiencing a crisis or mental distress. Individuals can access the service following assessment or referral from CNWL services, by calling the service for support, or by dropping into the service directly for support. Urgent appointments are available to ensure each person receives dedicated time and support.
We provide a welcoming, safe and supportive space, along with a hot drink and a snack, for anyone aged 16+ who is experiencing, or at risk of developing, mental health distress. The Coves aim to help people reduce immediate anxiety, develop personalised self-directed support plans, and access information and advice about local services and resources that may support their recovery.
If you live in Brent, Harrow, Hillingdon, Kensington & Chelsea, or Westminster, your local Cove operates as an open-access service. This means anyone aged 16+ can call or drop in without an appointment between 2pm and 10pm, Monday to Sunday. You can attend alone, or bring a friend, parent or family member for support.
