About Us
Our services
The Centre for Better Health is a registered charity that supports wellbeing and recovery from mental ill health.
We provide a holistic range of services in a trusted, community-based, non-clinical setting:
Better Health Counselling: Our low-cost counselling service helps people to make sense of difficult experiences, deal with negative thoughts and feelings and make positive changes in their lives.
Better Health Hub: Our Hub offers a range of low-cost creative, movement and therapeutic groups and courses to support self-care and promote wellbeing.
Better Health Training: Our social enterprise (comprising of Better Health Bikes and Better Health Products) offers 12-week, work-skills training placements to help provide in-roads into employment for those who are struggling with their mental health.
Our approach
In each of our services, we offer a relational approach. This places strong emphasis on developing supportive and therapeutic relationships with clients, in order to effectively support wellbeing and recovery from long-term mental ill health.
We offer all of our services on a self-referral basis, in order to enable clients to have autonomy over the support they want. For our trainee programme, we also accept third-party referrals.
We offer low-cost services and/or ensure that funded places are available, in order to provide greater accessibility to clients that otherwise may not be able to access non-statutory mental health services and wellbeing activities. Our daytime counselling sessions and Hub courses are also offered on a sliding scale, with concession rates for those that have low or no income.
The positive change we want to make
Through our services, we support individuals to achieve:
Personal growth
Improved wellbeing and quality of life
Employment progression
Our ultimate goal is for individuals to lead satisfying and hopeful lives in a society without any stigma around mental ill health.
