Mental health support

Free, confidential counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in Surrey and Kent and Medway.

We can all experience difficulties with our mental health at times. What this feels like, and how we cope, varies from person to person and often from moment to moment.

We may feel tired or down, struggle to enjoy things we used to love, or end up isolating ourselves from friends and family. Maybe we're stressed, finding it hard to sleep, or just can't seem to relax.

For some people, the reason for struggles goes back to childhood, upbringing, or a traumatic event. For others, it may be that life’s got really difficult—because of work life, strained relationships, or changing identity.

About Talking Therapies

We offer a range of free, confidential talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), for problems like:

  • worrying all the time
  • feeling low and hopeless
  • obsessive thoughts or behaviours
  • panic attacks

We offer different kinds of therapies depending on the difficulties you are having and how severe they are.
