Counselling

Our team of trained and experienced counsellors provide one to one counselling through the national NHS Talking Therapies, for Anxiety and Depression programme.

This was formerly known as Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT). Through this programme Spring to Life offers psychological therapies to people in Birmingham, in collaboration with the Living Well Consortum. From May 2021 to April 2022 we saw a total of 543 clients.

Over the years of delivering this service, the ‘Move to Recovery’ rate (MTR) for our clients, which is the measure of how people who have experienced anxiety or depression have improved significantly in their condition following therapy, has shown consistently positive results thanks to our IAPT input.
From May 2021 to April 2022, 62% of our clients scored as ‘Move to Recovery’. This is much higher than the national average. 

Here is what some of our clients said after having counselling:

quite literally I wouldn’t be here without your intervention

better equipped to manage own mental health

found my purpose

Life changing

transformative: life has changed from grey into colour, I can hear the birds singing now, I can feel fully, I can dance, I feel alive

I now know who I am and I don’t need to pretend to be who I’m not
