Mersey Counselling and Therapy Centre
Health
We want to create a garden space for both adults and children to relax, play, express, heal and be at peace.
About this cause
MCTC provides low cost & no cost counselling & psychotherapy for anyone in need. We keep minimum waiting lists & typically people are seen within 2 weeks of first contact. MCTC offers 90 minute sessions & does not limit the number of sessions available to any individual. MCTC operates a unique & effective 24/7 suicide prevention support policy. MCTC therapists adapt the model of therapy used to the needs of each individual. MCTC offers courses & workshops in mindfulness, meditation, relaxation, breath work, anger release, art therapy, bereavement support & more. We are currently working with local schools to provide a wrap-around mental health care package for both staff and pupils, offering them access to quick appointments and to bespoke preventative courses and workshops.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The project will help the community by providing a calm, space for children & adults visiting the Centre for therapy or group work, especially children from local schools in our outreach project. As one person learns to manage difficult or painful feelings & begins to heal from mental heath difficulties, so do their friends, family, colleagues, neighbours & whole communities.
