The Good Mental Health Company is committed to making therapy more accessible, inclusive and equitable.
Our team brings together decades of clinical experience, a passion for social justice, and a belief in healing through human connection.
Founder, Sarah Parry’s goal is to highlight the importance of in-depth therapeutic work in communities and believes in making psychotherapy known, available, accessible, and relevant to people of all generations. She recognises that a limited number of NHS prescribed counselling sessions are often insufficient to address the chronic widespread psychological and psycho-spiritual suffering experienced by many.
