Pay It Forward
Therapy can be life-changing, but private therapy is not always financially accessible.
The Pay It Forward Therapy Fund allows individuals and businesses to contribute towards the cost of a free Reset Hour for adults who may not otherwise be able to access support.
A Reset Hour is a focused, one-off therapeutic session with me. It is designed for someone who may feel stuck with a particular problem, feeling, decision or life situation, and would benefit from a dedicated space to pause, reflect and consider possible next steps.
As part of my social media content, I invite people to share real stories of overcoming difficult times, in the hope that these stories may inspire and encourage others. In return, I contribute £5 from my own income towards funding a free Reset Hour for each story shared.
Businesses and individuals are also welcome to make contributions to the fund.
A clear record is kept of all money received and how it is used, and this can be shared with contributors on request. I ask that any contribution is discussed with me before payment, so that the purpose and terms of the fund are clear.
Funded Reset Hours are available only to adults on lower incomes and are dependent on clinical suitability. This will be considered through an initial screening and risk assessment before any session is offered. A Reset Hour is not intended to be trauma-processing work or crisis support. If trauma or risk is identified, this will be managed safely and appropriately within the limits of the session, including signposting or support to access further help where needed.
Funded Reset Hours are offered at my discretion, based on financial need, clinical suitability, availability and safeguarding considerations. Contributions do not guarantee a Reset Hour for a specific person unless this has been agreed with me in advance.
The Attuned Room is not a crisis service. If someone is at immediate risk, emergency or crisis support should be accessed. Please see the FAQ section for further details.
All contributions are recorded separately and used only to support funded or reduced-fee Reset Hours.
Please contact me if you wish to discuss making a contribution, or in accessing this support.
Warmest, Heidi xx
