Hello!

Will you sponsor us to make a difference to those most in need?

We are a group of honorary psychotherapists who have been supporting the Camden Psychotherapy Unit for many years – we offer our time to provide long-term psychotherapy because we believe in its cause to provide psychotherapy to those most in need.

Approximately every £1500 raised will allow us to support one person for a year, which is less than half the cost of the average private psychotherapy. Please help us to cover these costs for our patients who are on benefits and low incomes.

For many years the CPU was fully funded by local authorities and Camden NHS. This funding was withdrawn at the end of 2010, and we launched an intensive fundraising campaign to allow us to stay open.

This cycle will raise vital funds to keep our doors open to those who most need it in London.

CPU, an independent charity, has been offering psychotherapy since 1969 to anybody who is concerned about their emotional difficulties. We provide comprehensive, specialist consultations and long-term group and individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

CPU is highly regarded as a service that offers and maintains the highest standards of clinical excellence. We are one of the few organisations where people can receive easily accessible and affordable psychoanalytic psychotherapy, providing a proven and sustainable level of treatment to those with mental-health needs. We also provide highly sought-after training placements to the next generation of psychoanalytic psychotherapists and psychoanalysts.

A word from our service users:

"Feel very grateful to be given such high quality help which I could not have afforded privately. I don’t know what I would have done without CPU - there is so little support for mental health issues in the NHS."

"Willingness to help when I was desperate. The fact that CPU and the therapist was willing to help me when I was at my most desperate, and when there was no other service my GP knew of that could help."
