Why Invest in Psychotherapy and Counselling
How can Psychotherapy help
Psychotherapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings with a trained professional, helping you manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. It offers emotional support, coping strategies, personal growth, and improved relationships.
Research shows that therapy can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve emotional well-being, and enhance relationship quality (Cuijpers et al., 2016; Lambert, 2013). Humanistic therapies like Person-Centred therapy foster self-growth and emotional resilience through a compassionate, client-focused approach (Elliott et al., 2013).
Economic Costs
According to the Centre for Mental Health's report in 2022, the economic and social costs of mental health in England reached £300 billion, with £101 billion of that burden falling to businesses. This study was commissioned by the NHS Confederation’s Mental Health Network, highlighting a significant cost that doubles the entire annual budget of the NHS (Centre for Mental Health, 2022).
According to a report by Deloitte (2020), companies see an average return of £5 for every £1 spent on mental health initiatives, due to reduced absenteeism, improved productivity, and higher employee retention.
