No one can function effectively without a clear mind
91 million working days are lost to mental illness each year. Stigma and a misunderstanding of mental health makes it difficult for people to talk about how they are feeling. By supporting WPF Therapy, you can help us to reduce that stigma and send the message to your staff that everybody has problems, and there is a safe place for them to talk about it.

Association with an important cause that will help prevent over 4,000 people a year take their own lives.

Helping get nearly 40% of people on Incapacity Benefit (and a secondary factor for 10% more of them) get back to work
Being there for people with depression and anxiety that make up nearly a tenth (9.8%) of the Uk population working age.
