People in Merton living with depression and other mental health conditions will be able to talk about their problems online, as well as face to face in future.
A new online therapy service has been set up to make more appointments available and to improve recovery rates in the borough.
The Big White Wall, external has been commissioned by Merton CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) as an interim solution to address below average access and recovery rates.
It has been commissioned alongside another online service called Ieso Digital Health.
Both services have contracts until April next year when the CCG is planning to change all of its IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) contracts.
