Co-founders of The Eaves, Stefan Kelly and Bridget Walford had met during their training to become qualified therapists in 2001. They shared a vision: to work alongside a group of Counselling and Psychology professionals dedicated to offering high quality therapy in every field of psychology.
The Eaves was founded in 2004 and set out to provide clients with top quality psychological therapies, in convenient locations, at a time that suited them. They felt that this practice should cater for all clients in calm, safe and comfortable consulting rooms.
They co-founded The Eaves with a definite philosophy that clients should be able to easily access quality psychological care. They would do everything possible to enable clients and practitioner to feel secure and valued, with their confidentiality being highly regarded at all times.
Our team of practitioners are all appropriately qualified, have independent indemnity insurance and are affiliated to their governing body, such as BPS or BACP.

For businesses, the subject of mental health care provision for staff can be perceived as difficult and costly. The pressure of business, periods of stress and extended working days can lead to long periods of staff absences that cost your business time and money as well as putting your company at risk a tribunal claim if you don’t provide adequate mental health care solutions to address the issue.
