About us

Hello, we're The Bridge Foundation!

We're a non-profit who support and transform the mental health and wellbeing of our local community through expert psychotherapy.

Therapy for children and families

We specialise in supporting children and their families through challenging times and experiences – no matter how big, or how small.

Our highly experienced child and adolescent therapists use talking, play, and art, to help children understand their emotions, and transform their wellbeing.

Therapy for adults

Regardless of what you’re struggling with – overwhelming emotions, battling with trauma and difficult experiences, or something you can’t quite put your finger on – our psychotherapists are here to support you.

You're in safe hands

  • Psychodynamic approach - Unlike some other forms of therapy, we look beneath the surface to understand what's causing emotional difficulties
  • Specialist expertise - Our therapists are highly trained to support people experiencing a variety of difficulties and experiences, including complex trauma, difficult family dynamics, and navigating neurodivergence.
  • Flexible support - From brief interventions to long-term therapy, we tailor our approach to your needs. No difficulty is too big or too small to bring to therapy.
  • Evidence-based practice - Our approach is backed by decades of research and clinical experience.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
