Partnerships

At WPF Therapy we understand the importance of partnerships. We operate in a complex environment where, whether we recognise it or not, interdependence rather than independence prevails.

The majority of our clients hear about us from friends and family, their GP and other therapists or psychologists rather than from our website or our advertising. Networking with other agencies helps us to be better known and more accessible to clients.  We have values in common with other organisations and together we can campaign more effectively for what we believe in. We need to keep abreast of what is happening in the world so that we can take advantage of new opportunities to the benefit of our clients our trainees and our staff. And we are always keen to cooperate with other organisations so that we can be more effective and efficient in what we do.

If you think that working in partnership with us could add real value to your work and ours, please contact us at joan.baxter@wpf.org.uk

'Developing a partnership with WPF Therapy has been a great addition to London's Health, Work and Well-being programme. Joint work has included developing an SE1 workplace health map for businesses in the area, gaining insight into barriers and concerns for small businesses in terms of keeping staff well and healthy and thinking through creative solutions and forms of support such as the HR drop in Forum.  I look forward to continuing to work with WPF over the next year.'
