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 and unable to afford private treatment.

“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
Our Impact
We provide highly sought-after training placements. Under the supervision of our highly experienced clinicians we nurture the growth of the next generation of psychoanalytic psychotherapists and psychoanalysts.
TRAINED THERAPISTS
Our impact ripples outwards further, because when we improve one person’s mental wellbeing, we also help those closest to them. Healing and recovery does not just transform them, but the lives of their partners, children, or caregivers.
PEOPLE HELPED
Year on year, we see sustained improvements in wellbeing as well as notable reductions in problems and risk during treatment. Our psychotherapy services are accessed by people travelling from 21 boroughs across London.
