Psychotherapy for all

CPU London offers free and low‑cost psychoanalytic psychotherapy to Londoners facing long‑standing, complex mental health difficulties, most of whom are on low incomes or benefits.

“My reason for supporting this remarkable organisation may also speak to you: the belief that mental well-being should be available to everyone immaterial of wealth”

— Helena Bonham Carter, CPU London Ambassador

CPU London has expanded

April 2026 marked an exciting milestone for us, as we expanded beyond Camden with the launch of our second site in Islington.

Our Impact

PEOPLE HELPED

We consistently see improvements in the mental wellbeing of our service users and reduction in their emotional difficulties and risk to life. Our psychotherapy services are accessed by people travelling from 25 boroughs across London.

IMPROVED WELLBEING

Our impact creates a ripple effect. When we improve one person’s mental wellbeing, we also help those closest to them. Healing and recovery does not just transform the individuals we work with, but also the lives of those around them.

TRAINED THERAPISTS

We provide highly sought after training placements. Under the supervision of our vastly experienced clinicians, we nurture the growth of the next generation of psychoanalytic psychotherapists and psychoanalysts.
