About Headstrong Counselling:

At Headstrong Counselling, we embody a vision that goes beyond the traditional boundaries of counselling and psychotherapy. Rooted in social justice and evidence-based practice, our mission is to democratise access to high-quality counselling for every member of our community. We firmly believe that everyone, irrespective of their racial identity, income level, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation, deserves the right to quality mental health support.
We recognise that addressing the community's mental health support deficit is not merely a service but a fundamental necessity. To this end, our commitment is two-fold: First, we strive to provide low-cost, yet high-quality counselling sessions, ensuring that essential mental health support is not a privilege but a right accessible to all. .
Second, we are dedicated to fostering a counsellor base that mirrors the diversity and richness of our community. Through rigorous clinical supervision, ongoing professional development, specialised workshops, and inclusion and diversity training, we ensure that our therapists are not only skilled clinicians but also culturally competent and socially conscious practitioners.
At the heart of our ethos lies the conviction that a sustainable and quality mental health service should not be reliant on external funding, grants, or governmental resources. We are committed to creating a self-sustaining model that flourishes independently, ensuring uninterrupted and reliable support to those we serve.

Easy assessment process, where I was quickly assigned a therapist. I was fortunate to be paired with Pauline. She really helped me through a difficult and challenging time in my life and gave me the tools to better cope with daily life. She created a safe environment for me to talk freely in and for that, I am truly grateful. I stopped my sessions a while back but I would definitely return to headstrong should I need more sessions in the future. I have recommended headstrong to several friends.

I found Headstrong at a time when I needed support, but due to a recent redundancy couldn't afford the costs of regular therapy. I was impressed by how quickly I received my initial consultation and then was assigned a therapist. Because of the low cost I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of the quality of counselling, but my therapist Julie Benteux was very knowledgeable, personable with me, and made me feel at ease from the very first session. She helped me a lot through 4 months of CBT sessions. I found our sessions challenging at times but in a way that pushed me to be better and more aware of myself and my behaviours. Overall my experience with Headstrong was very positive and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I believe everyone should have access to affordable therapy and am so pleased that places like Headstrong exist.

this was by far the best experience with counselling that I've had, ever! From the first appointment where we discussed what brought me to counselling and what I was looking to get from it, to the actual match with the counsellor. It worked wonderfully well for me and I felt a good connection straight away. Wonderful experience that, even months after finishing, still helps me go through life

A brilliant service that really delivers on its promise. The sessions I had with my therapist were hugely beneficial and they provided very professional but personal sessions.

I used Headstrong Counselling twice in 6-month slots - the first in 2021 and the second time in 2022. I suffered from severe anxiety brought on by work stress and my wife being unwell during pregnancy. The anxiety was making it difficult for me to be fully effective at work. I was allotted a counselor who helped me deal with / challenged my ways of thinking and provided me with tools to assess my anxiety levels and a safe place to air my thoughts and feelings (which I could not do at work). I would strongly recommend the service to anyone going through challenging times as it helped me improve my performance and it can help you too!

I had a couple of counsellors and they were both amazing. They really took the time to listen to me and hear what I wanted and needed (which I’d never felt I had got from other counselling). I was (and still am) struggling with money and the affordability versus the quality of service was excellent. I have recommended the service to a few people.

From 2019 to 2023, in a very tough time of my life I found the three therapists I worked with at Headstrong to be excellent. It was also really affordable, which is so important when money for everyone is so tight. I'd have no hesitation in recommending the service to others.

I have given 5/5 as I had a very good experience with my first counsellor Pip. He asked questions that made me really think and also provided me with literature to read and some homework to help me through the week. My second counsellor was good but I didn’t get the same out of my sessions with her compared to Pip unfortunately. The initial assessment and booking process is easy and the team are very friendly, knowledgeable and understanding. I have recommended headstrong to others.

As I was looking for a specific type of therapy (Schema) wasn’t sure how or if it would be available via Headstrong? I’m pleased to say, I was introduced to a therapist in Belgium and even though it has been online I don’t feel its impeded the process, plus my therapist does come over to London from time to time, so, we can occasionally meet up. I’m very grateful to have found my Schema Therapist its proving very insightful into my own struggles and of course it’s very affordable. Very happy with the service.

Really appreciative of a service such as Headstrong Counselling. I avoided seeking counselling support for a really long time due to facing both personal issues and others such as affordability and availability. However, over two years ago I had a speedy assessment with them and have been receiving therapy that I am happy with both remotely and in person ever since.

My therapist is the most professional and undemanding person I have ever talked to in regards to my mental health. I honestly can't belive she is a trainee. It's quite affordable and headstrong worked with me to pay something I could afford. Speaking is easy, just log in on your mobile devises via the Web portal. I struggle greatly with my mental health and working with headstrong has greatly benefited me and the people around me. 5*

Found this service to be invaluable and a God-send as able to do online and affordable to me. I find it a great space to be able to speak freely, openly and in complete confidence with a sage counsellor who understands me and is able to make sense of my muddled thoughts, helping me to see things more clearly. Have had a few lightbulb moments throughout the course of my sessions. I highly recommend Headstrong Counselling.

I've been with Headstrong Counselling for nearly two years now and I have to say that It has helped me immensely to get through some very difficult moments in that time and also has helped me regain confidence and given me hope for the future. My therapist is excellent and without her, I don't know where I'd be today. The advice that I have been given will always be remembered for getting me to do things that only a couple of years ago I thought would be impossible. So thank you for all your support and help.
