The NHS’s most recent survey on mental health in children and young people aged 8-25 revealed that 1 in 5 of them had mental health challenges.

Early intervention is vital, and providing young people with the support they need as soon as possible can be life-changing for them and their families 👪. That's where we come in. We work with children and young people, giving them the professional support they need to work through difficult and complex emotions.

In 2025, Mind found that 20.1% of adults in England were living with mental health difficulties like anxiety or depression. And adults in the most deprived areas had even higher rates of mental health problems.

These numbers are steadily rising. As a small mental health charity doing all we can to help clients with increasingly complex needs, we’re constantly striving to keep up with the demand for our services.

Please consider supporting us so we can keep on delivering free counselling and therapy to people in our community. 🌟
