Talk for Health

Talk for Health is a social enterprise that demystifies effective therapeutic talk, making it accessible to all. Our mission is to make group peer to peer counselling something we can all do - whether for our own wellbeing, to help others, or both.

Our core offering is an award-winning, Psychotherapist-designed Talk for Health group peer counselling programme. We also run groups, trainings and special events both online and in person. PLEASE NOTE: our activities are paused from end June 2024 due to an end in our grant and NHS funding. However, we plan to offer our award-winning programme again in the near future.

How does it work?

Our core offering is the award-winning 4-day Group Peer Counselling programme. It teaches group peer-to-peer counselling skills and give you plenty of space to reflect on your own life.  After training, Talk for Health Graduates gain access to other events.

Further training can be provided for Graduates to become trainers of the core programme and/or facilitators of on-going groups. 

Our activities used to be commissioned by NHS bodies in North London between 2014 and 2024, allowing free access for Camden and Islington residents. Over 10 years we demonstrated, with data from more than 2,000 participants, that T4H is as effective as Psychotherapy and more long-lasting. NHS-funded places are not currently available and we plan to offer our programme again in the near future, on a paid basis.

We also plan to run special events and hope to see you at one of our programmes or events soon.
