Mental health and neurodiversity are deeply personal to us at Leeds Therapy Hub CIC. Every member of our team brings lived experience of mental health challenges, with many being neurodivergent or parents of neurodivergent children. We understand first-hand the barriers people face when navigating waiting lists and seeking early intervention. Our mission is to provide accessible, compassionate, and trauma-informed support before individuals reach a crisis point, equipping them with practical, everyday tools for emotional regulation and resilience.

Overview of Our Key Services & Peer Support Programmes

We offer a range of targeted therapeutic services and peer support mental health and wellbeing programmes across West Yorkshire.

The service we offer for children is:

Play & Creative Arts Therapy (Ages 5–16): Play and Creative Arts Therapy is an evidence-based approach based on the work of Virginia Axline that helps children and young people (typically aged 5–16) explore, process, and express their emotions through play and creative activities. It uses play as a natural form of communication, allowing them to share and understand their inner experiences when words are difficult.

The services we offer for adults are:

Our adult peer support mental health and wellbeing courses are designed and written by survivors of mental health. Pour courses are hands on and practical and give services users skills to me power them to manage their mental health now and in the future.
